On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
