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
A myriad of higher education (HE) initiatives donning ‘international’ and ‘global’ branding remain unwittingly soaked in epistemologies of whiteness. The emergence of International Baccalaureate Educator Certificate (IBEC) programs strengthens this trend. Reviewing newly published findings that linguistically and pedagogically evidence this force at work inside Japanese universities, I suggest pathways for HE to better decloak, and subsequently deconstruct unwanted vestiges of whiteness.
