OxTalks is Changing
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
Educated Subjectivity and Social Haunting in North India
Akanksha will show in her paper entitled ‘Educated Subjectivity and Social Haunting in North India’ the ways in which a specific ‘educated subjectivity’ is being developed and performed in north India. This subjectivity differs substantially from the imagined changes in personhood that tertiary education is supposed to bring about. She will then examine some of the political consequences of what local actors perceive as a failure of education.
