OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

Unmaking and remaking: how I used and built theoretical frameworks throughout my DPhil
PLEASE NOTE NEW TIME AND DATE - THIS SEMINAR WILL NO LONGER TAKE PLACE ON 27 NOVEMBER.
Caitlin is a Medical Anthropologist, completing her BA at Durham University before commencing her MSc and then DPhil at Oxford from 2015. Caitlin is part of the active teaching staff in both the PHC and Anthropology department, delivering on HERG, MSc EBM, and Medical Anthropology modules, in addition to her role as visiting fellow at the University of Auckland. Caitlin’s DPhil research focussed on how people make ‘a life worth living’ whilst dying with chronic, degenerative heart failure at home towards the end of life.
The talk will explore how conceptual distinctions and clarifications offered by phenomenology informed Caitlin’s research methods, interview strategy, and fieldwork reflections. The theoretical lenses applied to analyse this work will be discussed, as well as how these lenses were further developed in conjunction with insights from data to build a theoretical framework of ‘unmaking and remaking’. This is a framework that can be more broadly applied to end of life research and practice.
