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
Transportation and mobility justice scholarship has emerged in recent years in response to long-standing inequalities in access to different kinds of transportation choices. From barriers related to economic issues, disabilities, or challenges linked to harassment or discrimination, research continues to demonstrate that transportation systems, broadly speaking, do not meet the needs of all people in the same manner. This research presentation will draw from multiple qualitative case studies in the United States to demonstrate how limitations in transportation choice can restrict mobility. Case studies will highlight barriers linked to race, class, gender, and disability in order to advocate for the ongoing need to theorize around mobility justice, in particular through taking into account how larger structural dynamics of oppression impact the freedom of movement experienced by various demographic groups.
