OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

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.
