OxTalks is Changing
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
Conservation Culteromics: new decision support currencies
onservation Culturomics: new decision support currencies // Professor Richard Ladle, Federal University of Alagoas, Brazil
The emergence of vast corpora of digital text opens the possibility of quantifying at scale the ‘culturalness’ of conservation entities: e.g. species and sites. This seminar will present work on the development of new decision-support ‘currencies’ metrics designed to advance the practice and science of conservation. It will explore the ontological and epistemology challenges associated with the new field of conservation culturomics, how they are being worked through, and the potential applications of the new metrics being generated.
