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
In times of overlapping crises – economic instability, funding cuts, political uncertainty, and health emergencies – many in the global health space are navigating both professional and personal precarity. For some, solidarity has not been optional, but essential to survival. Yet acting in solidarity is rarely straightforward. It demands courage, creativity, and often resistance against existing systems of power.
This forum is part of a broader effort to move beyond solidarity rhetoric – to understand solidarity not just as a concept, but as a lived practice. In this forum, we will focus on understanding how solidarity can be a proactive response to feelings of helplessness.
Objectives of the Forum
Titled “A Solidarity of the Shaken: From Despair to Collective Action”, the forum will advance two objectives:
Share grounded insights and practices on how solidarity can drive meaningful change in global health
Celebrate and energise our shared commitment to transforming common vulnerabilities into collective strength through solidarity
