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
Join us for an insightful roundtable discussion featuring Emily Owens from Brown University and Kaisha Esty from Wesleyan University. These two historians focus on the experiences of enslaved and free women, examining narratives of sexual violence, resistance, legal redress, and survival through meticulous archival excavation. The scholars will explore the complex and precarious meaning of consent for Black women in the nineteenth-century as well as its lingering afterlives in the present day.
