OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

People of subcontinental heritage in Britain – ‘British Asians’ or ‘British South Asians’ have a shared history of family migration to the UK from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal. Historically they have much in common, and share many solidarities, but there are also significant political, economic and cultural differences between communities. Aimed at the non-specialist this talk will outline some of the key debates about – and between – British South Asians. As politics in the Indian subcontinent continues to create conflicts between British Asians, I’ll argue that understanding these differences matters for understanding modern Britain today.
Speaker details: Dr Yasmin Khan (Department for Continuing Education, Faculty of History)
