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
In the inaugural conversation for the Rights in Crisis series, Prof Sandra Fredman will be in conversation with Prof. Janaki Srinivasan to discuss the nature of Indian gig economy and its impact on workers’ rights. This discussion will explore the precarious conditions of gig workers in India, the legal frameworks shaping their rights, and the broader implications of platform economies on labor protections.
