OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The "Care" Series - Reading: '“They Would Plant the Rose Garden Themselves”: Femme, Complicity, Solidarity, and the Rewiring of the Sensuous’
Please note change of venue
Reading: Mijke van der Drift and Nat Raha, “They Would Plant the Rose Garden Themselves”: Femme, Complicity, Solidarity, and the Rewiring of the Sensuous’. Social Text 42, no. 3 (2024): 75-100
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).
