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

Jayson Maurice Porter is a PhD candidate of Mexican environmental history who also teaches about tropical histories of science and technology studies, material culture, and black geographies. His dissertation research focuses on pesticide-based eradication campaigns—against people, plants, and people—in the Mexican states of Guerrero and Sinaloa. His dissertation will analyze pesticide use across military, public health, and agricultural campaigns from 1920 to 1980 to better understand how ecological, political, and social violence intertwined in two of Mexico’s most violent states.
