Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
