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
In autumn 2019 we published our latest book with the Policy Press, entitled Transport Matters. Our aim with this book was to bring together a wide range of colleagues – particularly a greater number of younger and early career researchers doing innovative research – to show how and why transport matters across many different aspects of daily life. It reviews key transport issues and explains how and why effective and efficient transport is fundamental to successfully addressing all manner of public policy goals.
In this session we will explore how the contributors to the book explored key questions including how we ‘do’ transport in contemporary society, how the technologies available to us and the cultures of mobility that society creates both contribute to frame the practice and debate about transport; how the sum of these choices has significant social, economic and environmental consequences; and how we could do things differently, to bring about a happier, healthier and more economically secure future for all of us.
