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
In this talk, Professor Halberstam will revisit the sculptural cuts made by Gordon Matta-Clark into abandoned buildings in the 1970’s and use them to rethink contemporary discourses surrounding trans bodies and politics.
Author of Female Masculinity and The Queer Art of Failure, Jack Halberstam is one of our most prominent queer and trans scholars. Places Journal awarded Professor Halberstam its Arcus/Places Prize in 2018 for innovative public scholarship on the relationship between gender, sexuality, and the built environment. He is currently working on his project The Wild Beyond: Music, Architecture and Anarchy sponsored by the Guggenheim Foundation.
