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
Dr Priya Atwal will be delivering a talk at the Nissan lecture theatre in St Antony’s college where she will detail the rise and fall of the Sikh empire.
Dr Priya Atwal is a historian at the University of Oxford. Her book, Royals and Rebels: the Rise and Fall of the Sikh Empire, was published in 2020. Her research specialises in the study of monarchy and empire in Britain and South Asia, and she has a long-standing interest in the history of the Sikhs and Punjab. Priya was President of the Sikh Society from 2009-10, and SikhSoc was where she first learned about the history of the Sikh Empire, so she is very excited about this special event!
This event is in collaboration with the Midlands-based charity Unite in Virtue which aims to feed, council, and support those in need. The charity has expanded over the last few years, serving a greater number of people with hot meals and the occasional clothes donation.
