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
Cultural Practices and Child Health in Pakistan
In this talk, I’ll be discussing the relationship with child stunting of two practices that are common in the local context. The first is son-biased fertility stopping behaviour, where parents commonly add to their family until they reach the desired number of sons. This increases the chances that later-born children are stunted, unless the child is a first born son. Prenatal inputs also tend to increase if a family does not yet have a son. The second practice that we consider is the impact of exposure to mild in-utero nutritional disruptions due to fasting.
