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
Oxford scholar Urvi Khaitan will be presenting the topic of her doctoral thesis in this upcoming talk on female labour during the Second World War in India:
Hidden beneath traditional historical narratives of the Second World War are the profound effects of war and famine on women in British India. With a colonial state that failed them, low-caste and indigenous (Adivasi) women disproportionately bore the impact of the resulting displacement and destitution. This talk seeks to demonstrate that these women were not simply passive recipients of charity but actively looked for ways to survive, and in doing so, became part of an immense global supply chain supporting the Allied Second World War effort.
