On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, 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.
