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

Nuffield Department of Women’s & Reproductive Health, Diversity Week 2020
Harry is an MPhil in Politics (2018-2020) and is the New College MCR disability representative.
‘Disability in a world of tradition: why valuing difference benefits everyone’
I am delighted to be speaking at the WRH’s first diversity week, and I shall be talking on the topic of disability and the need to tackle ‘everyday ableism’ in conversations with disabled people. I shall outline some of my own experiences on in this area as a wheelchair user with cerebral palsy, and detail the evolution of my approach to disability and identity in recent years. I will conclude by emphasising the importance of developing ways of talking about disability which promote positivity, empowerment, and the valuing of difference for the benefit of all.
