OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all 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 as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Adriana Massidda writes about the transformation of urban space in contexts of social and ecological disadvantage. Her main project to date analysed the transformation of the Buenos Aires Southwest marshlands into a landscape of low-income neighbourhoods, shanty towns (villas), and state-sponsored projects over a convoluted period of Argentine history (1956-1967). Residents’ micro-scale and collective actions were key for this transformative process, refuting modernisation discourse which regarded villas as sites of backwardness and disorganisation. More recently she has explored the environmental past of two social housing areas in London and Leicester respectively, interrogating the ways in which it ties into their present.
