OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Deconstructing Whiteness in Higher Education: Epistemological Imperialism in Japanese International Baccalaureate Teacher Training Programs
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.
