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.

This talk illustrates the choices of some indigenous islanders of Chiloé, southern Chile, who decided to move to the town, or to other countryside settings. This relocation implied an abrupt change of lifestyle and residence; however, a definitive move has never happened and people constantly re-negotiate their residency through regular or seasonal commuting.
Does one ever really leave? Does one ever settle? Where is home, and what makes it so? I reflect on the relation between people and places in a context of change and movement, considering the different strategies people employ to minimise loss while pursuing their aspirations.
