Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Social mobility and wellbeing: does ‘moving up’ lead to better health?
In this presentation, we will examine associations between social class in childhood, social class in adulthood, and adult wellbeing, as measured through a new socio-epidemiological questionnaire developed at the School of Anthropology in collaboration with the Oxford BioBank. The discussion will focus on how classed childhood experiences, including social mobility, may mediate, and even invert, expected relationships between health and adult social class, with particular attention to body weight, eating practices, and distress.
