Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Join us for our Radical Reasoning for our Music as Method theme, where we will be discussing the uses of music, through both a contemporary and historic lens, for Black expression, collectivity, and identity. To do this, we will be reflecting upon the following material:
1. Paul Gilroy, ‘Sounds Authentic: Black Music, Ethnicity, and the Challenge of a ‘Changing’ Same’, Black Music Research Journal 11:2 (Autumn 1991), pp. 111 – 136.
We also recommend you listen these performances by our contributors, which will allow you to better understand the industry and the importance of contemporary Black presence:
‘Luke Bacchus – BBC Young Jazz Musician 2022 Final’, 2022 (www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhnJoxx4gdM)
‘John Pfumojena Performance at the Pitt Rivers Museum’, October 2022 (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tyyy3xi1jsE)
We ask attendees to consider the chosen materials, however, we welcome anyone who is interested, regardless of the extent you have engaged with the materials. The discussion will be guided by your thoughts and opinions, however, we will also come prepared with prompts to spark conversation.
