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
The study of gender has played a significant role in developing anthropological work concerning Pentecostal churches and global Christianity. Based on an ethnographic study conducted in Madrid, I explore how religion, masculinity and ethnicity intertwine in Spanish Gitano Pentecostal churches. Adding to a growing scholarship interested in the interface between masculinity and Pentecostalism, I show that born-again Christian Gitano ideals build upon and reshape dominant Gitano secular gendered worldviews. I illustrate how Pentecostal churches remake men’s authority within families and gender roles, ultimately transforming the notion of Gitano masculinity. By shedding light on how Gitano believers engage with novel forms of masculinity, I also contribute to advancing anthropological work on kinship, flirting practices, and the politics of marriage among Gitano communities in urban settings in Spain.
