OxTalks is Changing
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
Why should we care about healthier homes?
Housing quality has a profound impact on health, with poor housing conditions exacerbating health inequalities, a situation made worse by the Covid-19 pandemic. For many residents in social housing communities, living in overcrowded homes with issues like damp, mould, cold, and pests is a daily reality. These challenges directly influence physical and mental health, raising the question: how can we build better connections between housing and health sectors to address these issues?
In this seminar, we will explore what it means to create healthy, adequate living environments in social housing, drawing on insights from academia, local government, public housing tenants, and the health sector. We will critically examine how these concepts can be practically assessed and effectively embedded into policy frameworks, while also discussing the importance of long-term collaboration between housing and health improvement initiatives. Through real-world examples and a focus on ‘City of Care’ urbanism, this session aims to spark a lively discussion on creating healthier, more sustainable living places.
