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
Given the importance of publishing to the career trajectories and lives of academic researchers, comparatively little attention has been paid to racism in the context of academic publishing. This panel seminar foregrounds and explores the erasures, exclusions and dispossessions that researchers of colour, and women of colour in particular, can experience through their publishing lives. These experiences are situated in a broader historical context of erasure and dispossession against colonised subjects in Europe, North America and the Global South. The seminar explores the extent of the problem and the emotional effects of this form of racism at an individual and collective scale. It begins to examine the dynamics and processes involved, for example how the dispossession is often committed by researchers claiming allyship and the intersect between race and gender. Critically, it investigates the anti-racist practices that are needed to help transform universities, publishing houses and publishing communities. This is a virtual seminar, with a panel discussion followed by reflections and questions from the audience.
