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

17:35-18:00 Why Do African Presidents Travel Abroad For Medical Care? Dr Tolulope Osayomi
This study examines the paradox of African presidents seeking medical care abroad through the lens of medical geography and African politics. Using mapping, digital ethnography, and archival research, it explores how power, inequality, and healthcare quality shape these medical trips, and reveal deeper crises within Africa’s health systems.
18:00-18:25 Coloniality, Citizenship, and the environmental threats of mineral extraction, Professor Caesar Atuire
In this presentation, I suggest an ethical approach of respectful and participatory engagement with the practitioners of galamsey to co-generate an equitable and accountable framework for gold mining policies in Ghana.
