Oxford and Empire Walking Tour

Over the course of 2 hours, you will discover the role of Oxford University in:

• The British Raj in India
• The opium wars in China
• The conquest of America
• Africa, the Caribbean and the Maafa
• Present-day wars in the Middle East
• Anti-colonial resistance and solidarity

See Oxford's historic buildings in a new light as teacher and political journalist Dan Glazebrook walks you through four centuries of Oxford's role in shaping the shifting contours of today's globalised world.

Packed with surprising stories of the legendary, infamous and the lesser known figures who helped to build - as well as to confront - the colonial world system, Oxford and Empire will entertain, educate and sometimes shock.

The tour includes entrance to one of the University's medieval colleges.

Dan Glazebrook is a veteran tour guide with a masters (distinction) in International Relations and over two decades experience as a political journalist, author, teacher and lyricist.
