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
Dr Clara Barker is a Daphne Jackson Trust research fellow and manages the Centre for Applied Superconductivity at Oxford’s Department of Materials.

In 2017, Dr Barker was awarded the Prime Minister’s Points of Light Award for her volunteer work raising awareness of LGBTQ+ issues. In 2023, she was appointed Inclusion and Diversity Representative by the Institute of Physics. In this talk, Dr Barker will share her personal path to science, and highlight the importance of having an inclusive workplace. We will learn about the difficulties that the LGBTQ+ community face in STEM, and what everyone can do to promote allyship.
