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
Family was essential to a bondperson’s life and resistance was crucial to their familial endeavors. Family not only meant love, support, procreation, socialization, protection, and reverence. Its humanizing impulse also meant resistance. Resistance—to dehumanization, ill treatment, emasculation and defeminization, infantilization, suppression of one’s culture, destruction of one’s family, and the undermining of family roles—was a fundamental ethos located not only within the individual, but also within enslaved families and communities.
