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
Description
Professor Daley (University of Oxford) will explore how Caribbean migrants of the Windrush generations constructed “home” on the island of Britain – in a country that they thought they had prior knowledge and some familiarity. Making “home” will be considered in the decoration of the living spaces, through the sociality of family, friends, and the wider black community, as well as attachment to the towns and cities in which people settled.
Professor Daley is Professor of the Human Geography of Africa at the University of Oxford.
Doors open at 1.30pm for refreshments.
Part of our Windrush Years programme accompanying the Windrush Years – Next Generations exhibition.
