OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Carolina Osorio Gil is a PhD candidate in Development Sociology at Cornell University’s Department of Global Development where she studies epistemic and ontological strategies of resistance by rural communities (campesina/os) to large-scale development in Latin America. Carolina will present on her dissertation research project, a participatory and ethnographic study in partnership with the Movimiento Ríos Vivos (Living Rivers Movement), a campesina/o movement that is in resistance to Hidroituango, the largest hydroelectric project in Colombia. Approaching this case as one of epistemic injustice, Carolina utilizes a set of liberatory praxes, including a Story-Based Theater methodology that she developed, to actively contribute towards epistemic justice in her research.
