OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future 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 on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

Whether you’re completing an employer’s diversity monitoring form or an immigration application, a drop-down menu on a website or a national census, many of the systems we encounter in everyday life have adapted to welcome some LGBTQ individuals. But with this turn to recognition, who is included and who is left behind?
In this lecture, Guyan will share new work on the importance of systems – and their associated documents, policies and administrative practices – as a key battleground for LGBTQ equalities in the UK.
Everyone loses when systems repeatedly fail to reflect the world around us and make bad decisions based on biased assumptions. How we choose to engage with these systems – or if we choose to engage – is fundamental to everyone’s future.
