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
Riverways and rural resistance: The case of Colombia's Movimiento Ríos Vivos social movement
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.
