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
Nuffield Department of Women’s & Reproductive Health, Diversity Week 2020
Clara works as Materials Scientist in the Department of Materials, University of Oxford. Clara is a trained mentor for LGBT. She manages the Centre for Applied Superconductivity, part of local Pride committees, supports local LGBT youth and won the Points of Light Award from the PM in 2017 for raising awareness of LGBT issues within the University and beyond.
In her talk, Dr Clara Barker will talk about the inequality in academia, and particularly in STEMM fields, that are faced by researchers of different groups. Clara will start by explaining the terms she will use before using her own experience to highlight issues faced specifically by the LGBTI+ community, talk about why these issues are of concern to academia and research and also show examples of diversity being good for science.
