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
The yakuza are one of the most visible criminal organisations in the world, yet one of the least studied. This talk will explore the difficulties (and advantages) of researching Japanese criminal syndicates, from desk-based research to interviews with elite participants, with particular attention for the role of the female researcher in doing fieldwork with organised crime. Finally a summary of the data collected in the field will be presented.
