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
The seminar describes how an online research community was used to explore the reasons between inequalities in cancer patient experiences and outcomes among LGBT, BAME and older (aged 65 to 90) people living with cancer. The case study involved 90 people living with cancer, together with 24 experts (healthcare professionals, academics, diversity specialists) over a period of two months, to take part in 70 research activities. The seminar also considers some key differences between social life online and offline; differences in the research process online and offline; success factors when planning and delivering online research projects, as well as ethical considerations.
