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
This event is part of the Childhood and Youth Studies Network (CYS) events.
The first two decades of the twenty-first century saw the rise of girl power discourses in international development, which argue that when girls in the Global South are given an investment to stay in school, they will go on to lift entire communities out of poverty. NGOs, governments, and international institutions began to champion girls as the ‘untapped resource’ the world had been waiting for.
