OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This presentation explores West African women’s movements in the mid-20th century, and their contributions to global feminist history. Focusing on figures such as Mabel Dove and West African women’s organisations like the Federation for Gold Coast Women and the Sierra Leone Women’s Movement, this talk explores how Black women’s internationalism intersected with and contributed to international feminist networks in the mid-twentieth century. This presentation offers a fresh perspective on the interconnectedness of local and global feminist movements, highlighting the significance of West African women in shaping broader historical narratives.
