Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
