OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

Do We Own the Land, or Do We Belong to It?
OxMEND is pleased to invite you to an evening with Dr Yasmeen Abu Fraiha and Professor Oren Yiftachel (A Land for All), in conversation with Dr David Borabeck (University of Oxford).
Together, our speakers will examine the political and theological assumptions that shape how Israelis and Palestinians relate to the land. Moving beyond conventional policy frameworks, the conversation will explore whether the land must be imagined primarily through sovereignty and ownership – or whether alternative traditions of belonging and shared affinity might open new political horizons.
This is an opportunity to engage directly with leading thinkers and practitioners, exchange ideas in an open setting, and reflect on practical pathways for meaningful activism.
