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
The "Care" Series: 'Rethinking Care Work: (Dis)affection and the Politics of Caring’
Reading: Premilla Nadasen, ‘Rethinking Care Work: (Dis)affection and the Politics of Caring’. Feminist Formations 33, no. 1 (2021): 165-188
What is “care” good for, and how best to apprehend it as a scholarly category? The “Care” Series gathers scholars of any discipline who are interested in reading and thinking about “care” together. Each session, we gather to discuss a short reading with the help of a local expert.
In meeting under the auspices of WGIQ (the Centre for Women’s, Gender, Identity and Queer History), we recognize the centrality of feminists to care thinking since the 1980s, the importance of care practices to queer and otherwise marginalized communities, the historicity of when different disciplines invested in the category, and the importance of multidisciplinary and inclusive approaches as we now proceed.
The Care Series is convened by Sarah Knott (History, St John’s College) and Lucile Richard (Political Theory, Nuffield).
