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
Prof. Penslar, Prof. Yadgar, and Prof. Peleg will discuss some fundamental themes in Israel Studies through their recently published books:
Professor Derek Penslar, Zionism: An Emotional State (Key Words in Jewish Studies), New Brunswick, Rutgers University Press, 2023
Professor Yaacov Yadgar, To Be a Jewish State: Zionism as the New Judaism, New York, NYU Press, 2024
Professor Yaron Peleg, New Hebrews: Making National Culture in Zion, Cambridge University Press, 2025
This new books event is part of the joint Harvard, Cambridge, and Oxford workshop “Transnational Belonging, Identity and Emotion: Current Themes in Israel Studies”.
