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.
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.
