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
Oxford has been a men-dominated space for centuries and it still shows today. We want to discuss how gender shapes our experiences at DPIR and in academia more generally. What are the underlying reasons for the imbalanced gender ratio of senior academic staff at our Department? How does gender impact the manner of seminar discussions? What counts as rigorous (political science) knowledge and methodology and how is this informed by socialised gender expectations? And, importantly, how does gender intersect with other social identities to create unequal chances and experiences? We want to create the space to start an honest discussion about these issues and create an impetus for concrete changes. Please join us for a panel discussion with subsequent reception in the Lecture Theatre of DPIR on Tuesday May 9th at 2:30.
The event is open to all members of DPIR; men and persons identifying as non-binary are cordially invited; as are all administrative staff, junior researchers, and senior academics.
