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.

This paper makes the case for a geographical analysis of self-determination. In setting out how and why self-determination is an inherently spatial right and principle, we bring literature on self-determination into dialogue with scholarship on postcolonial geographies and relational space, so as to propose a geographical approach to self-determination. By examining how three communities – the Nagas, the Tibetans, and the Karen – have recently re-articulated self-determination, we illustrate how self-determination is a relationally constituted claim, informed by interactions across various sites and scales, even as it is claimed with reference to a homeland. Please email the coordinator if you would like a copy of the paper to be discussed ahead of attending this session.
