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
This webinar will consider how the rise of digital technologies, such as online platforms to match demand and supply of
transport, affects everyday mobilities and livelihoods of low income individuals and communities across the planet.
Ms Carly Gilbert-Patrick (UNEP) will open the webinar with a broad overview of the role of digitisation of mobility in the
Global South; this will be followed by a presentation by Professor Samuel Odewumi (Lagos State University, Nigeria)
about e-hailing services in cities in West and East Africa. An animation film about the plight of auto-rickshaw drivers
working for commercial platforms directed by Dr Lucy Baker (formerly University of Oxford) will also be shown. The
webinar will be chaired by Professor Tim Schwanen (University of Oxford).
