On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In July a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood occurred in the Lende Valley, destroying the bridge between the border posts of Nepal and China, and carrying off 200 vehicles and about 20 people in the flood. This triggered memories of research 35 years ago, as Tamang villagers took their sheep to Lende, also gathering medicinal herbs. I will reflect on aspects of human-environmental relationships through different thematic phases of research. These cover development paradigms of productive intensification and biodiversity protection; ontological and multi-species turns in sentient landscapes; Zomia sovereignties; renewable energy innovation; labour migration, agricultural abandonment, forest regrowth, and climate resilience.
