Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
5 years after the Black Lives Matter movement, Prof Atuire will revisit the role of monuments as barriers towards achieving EDI goals. This seminar is part of a series during Black History Month, organised by the Henry Wellcome Buildings EDI Committee.
Prof Atuire is a Professor of Global Health Ethics, the President of the International Association of Bioethics, and the Co-Associate Director of Oxford Global Health.
“Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at Oxford and in many other institutions is taking steps towards increasing access to persons from underrepresented groups. Alongside this positive step, I suggest an internal interrogation about what barriers exist to prevent some groups from accessing institutions. Among these possible barriers are the built environment that celebrates mostly a certain type of person. So, should we be taking a closer look at the monuments that surround us?”
Open to all. Talk and informal chat with refreshments.
