OxTalks is Changing
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
Exclusion from school: who benefits?
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.
