OxTalks is Changing
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
Communication, Narratives and Antimicrobial Resistance Workshop
The World Health Organisation has declared Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) as one of the ‘top global and public health development threats.’ This one-day workshop will approach the problem from a Humanities perspective. It will focus on the power of narrative and communication in discussions around antimicrobial resistance. Topics will include:
Narratives of antibiotic resistance in both primary and secondary healthcare, with a focus on clinician-patient encounters.
The communication of antimicrobial resistance through journalism and social media.
The role of scientific publishing in highlighting the challenges of antimicrobial resistance.
The power of art and design in communicating information about antibiotics.
The workshop will draw together a wide range of perspectives with participants from the fields of patient activism, journalism, philosophy, microbiology, history, medicine, nursing, policy, and art and design.
All welcome, no registration required.
Funding: This work is generally sponsored by the John Fell Fund (via the Medical Humanities Programme) and the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics, University of Oxford.
