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
Investigating the various experiences of minorities in the climate justice movement, this talk presents a racialized dimension to literature concerning youth advocacy. The conducted qualitative research is based on in-depth interviews with youth climate activists across the UK. Its findings suggest that the politicization of the climate crisis positions “youthful agents” at its forefront, taking climate-oriented governance into their own hands. Also, the talk sheds light on the need for the movement to be more intersectional in its objectives and initiatives through highlighting the very different experiences of interviewed activists.
