OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
'A Very Short Introduction to the British Empire', a Free PUBlic Lecture Series
A series of short lectures which take place in Oxford’s pubs on the first Thursday of every month. Each talk is open to the public and is given by a DPhil student in History and will cover various topics related to the history of the British Empire.
For this 3rd Lecture, History DPhil Candidate, Urvi Khaitan, will be talking about ‘Conquest in Asia’ as part of the ‘A New Imperialism’ module.
We have a fantastic group of students scheduled for the series, which aims to invite non-specialist audiences to learn more about a topic which is often overlooked. The series is organised by Uncomfortable Oxford, a student-lead social enterprise aiming at raising awareness about the ‘uncomfortable’ legacies of inequality and imperialism in the city as well as the politics of memory in its built environment.
We hope that you are eager to join us in conversation, and learn more about the British Empire at the PUBlic Lecture Series.
Please be advised that the room for this lecture (Blue Room) is upstairs, so is not fully accessible.
