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 in early Hilary to allow all 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 as soon as possible.

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.
