OxTalks is Changing
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
Single in the City: Women, Migration and Domestic Work in India
The paper explores long-term patterns of mobility from the colonial period to understand women’s migration today in the specific context of domestic work. In the colonial period, single women’s migration from village to city often resulted in their severance of links with the former. They lost access to rural resources, which were contingent upon familial role fulfillment. In recent years, with increase in migration of women domestic workers, new patterns have become discernible. These shifts and changes challenge the current understanding of gender in migration studies in South Asia.
