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
Situational space matters in the daily experience of intersectional inequalities in Latin America. Like other metropolises, São Paulo has registered an extraordinary increase of women-headed family homelessness during the pandemic. This talk addresses how social categories of difference contribute to the physical-material and social setting of urban public spaces in post-Covid Latin America. It asks how female heads of homeless families have mobilised categories regarding class, race/ethnicity, gender, sexuality and age in streets and squares of the region’s largest metropolis to sustain their lives and families. Based onethnographic research on their social-reproductive interactions in São Paulo (2020-2022), I assess a twofold hypothesis. Intersectional asymmetries impact the production of urban public space situationally depending on their management within the spatial boundaries of face-to-face interaction for social-reproductive purposes.
