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
Geopolitical Implications of Educational Diplomacy: The Fulbright Program, 1958–2023
The Fulbright Program serves as a prominent example of educational diplomacy policy. This study combines archival research and critical discourse analysis to examine 33 evaluation and report documents that evaluate the effectiveness of the Fulbright Program from 1958–2023. Marisa employed argumentation analysis to understand the underlying ideological strategies used to discursively construct the Fulbright Program’s multiple purposes. The study finds that the documents argue that education and mutual understanding are ephemeral concepts, the Fulbright Program has geopolitical justifications, and academic disciplines are a source of geopolitical power. This approach to analyzing the Fulbright Program’s historical documents provides a model for understanding educational diplomacy schemes that use higher education as a geopolitical tool.
