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
Professor Jennifer Nedelsky will discuss her latest article.
Abstract: “constitutionalism” means the framework for co-operating communities that include the more-than human. The nation-state is both too large and too small for optimal earth-centric decision-making. New values of responsibility, freedom, and care become foundational. “Representation” now needs to include more-than-human participants, raising questions about which of the traditional structures of democracy remain valuable. Special protection for core values require forms other than conventional judicial review. Responsibility becomes more important than rights. New approaches to property, to work and care, to economic equality, to security, and to individual responsibility are necessary to foster core values of the new constitutionalism. Both spiritual and secular language are important to capture the intrinsic value of “all our relations.”
Professor Jonathan Herring will be acting as a discussant.
