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
Drawing on decades of experience in academia and the activist world, ‘Beyond our Current Boundaries: Peace Studies from Africa and the Global South’ (Africa World Press, 2025, premiere book in the Africa World Peace Book Series) initiates a new Africa World Press/Red Sea Press series championing the distinct and growing field of African and Global South Peace Research and Studies. This intentionally interdisciplinary field, bringing together grassroots organizers, scholars, and students, is laid out by Matt Meyer – one of its pioneering thinkers. With a robust review of past Pan-Africanist ideals and contemporary challenges to intersectional systems of oppression, Meyer charts a context for future work building on the dreams of Archbishop Tutu, Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, Kwame Nkrumah, Mawina Kouyate, Elise Boulding, the Zapatistas, and more.
