On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
2022 marks the fiftieth anniversary of Idi Amin’s expulsion of Uganda’s Asian minority. Standing at some eighty thousand individuals, the population of refugees he created was not big by today’s standards. Yet it went on to transform citizenship and national culture in countries as far apart as the United Kingdom and Canada. The Uganda Asians, as they were known, represented the first significant wave of refugees to move from the global south to the north. And in this way, they stand at the beginning of a new history of global migration, one whose crisis we are experiencing today.
