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
Contrary to widespread speculations of doom, Africa was surprisingly the least affected continent by COVID-19, exhibiting the lowest morbidity and mortality rates. This lunchtime workshop will discuss preliminary research into Africa’s relatively low death rates, as well as the pandemic’s impact on Africa and how its experience might inform global health policy and practice. Dr Tolulope Osayomi is a lecturer in the Department of Geography at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, and an AfOx Visiting Fellow at the University of Oxford 2023-24. His research focuses on spatial epidemiology, global health, and the geography of pandemics. From 2020-2021, he led the Covid-19 Mapping Lab at the University of Ibadan’s Department of Geography.
