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 talk examines how the humanitarian debate in Oxford during the Spanish Civil War reflected broader tensions between political ideologies and moral responsibility. It explores how civil society groups, academics, and local advocates engaged with questions of food aid and relief, navigating propaganda and competing narratives to shape public discourse and action. By focusing on Oxford’s unique role in these debates, the talk sheds light on the interplay between local activism and global humanitarian concerns.
