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
In this talk I will ask questions about why so many young people are excluded from school in England.
Although we raise our hands in horror about recent exclusion figures it is perhaps worth remembering that in 1997/8 12300 permanent exclusions took place in England. The practice has a long history and it is worth asking why it persists:
Does it benefit young people who are excluded?
Does it make mainstream schools better places for the young people who are left behind?
In attempting to answer these questions I will draw on insights developed during the Excluded Lives project as well as other considerations of the processes and outcomes of marginalisation of young people from the prospects of gaining a meaningful education.
