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 protests against the Farm Laws in India have entered a crucial phase as the farmers’ agitation continues to gather mass and momentum across the country. There is widespread concern that the laws pave the way for increased corporatization of agricultural markets, leaving small-holder farmers at a disadvantage. The various perspectives can be difficult to navigate and in this session, our speakers will aim to clarify and highlight the key issues at stake. This includes important questions such as: How do the new laws affect the way in which India feeds its population? How might these laws transform the institutions and structures of Indian agriculture? Will the Farm Laws incentivise a new scale of mechanised agri-business which is feared to displace livelihoods and labour? Our speakers will discuss this and more at this webinar co-hosted by the Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development and Wolfson South Asia Research Cluster.
