OxTalks is Changing
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
Yawanawa Traditions: Researching Amazonian Psychedelics
Join OPS for an insightful exploration into the rich cultural and spiritual traditions of the Yawanawa people of the Amazon with Dr. Marie Fe Gabara, an expert in anthropology and indigenous studies. This talk will dive into the intersection of Yawanawa traditions, the use of psychedelics in spiritual practices, and their broader anthropological significance. Dr. Gabara will share her research on the Yawanawa’s unique relationship with the natural world and the role psychedelics play in their cultural heritage. This event is a unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of Amazonian cultures and their profound wisdom from an anthropological perspective.
