Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. 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.
This ‘conversation’ compares support in the UK for carers with that provided in a number of other countries, including Australia, Canada, Finland, Sweden and Japan, identifying different types and models of policy support for carers.
The presentation will be given by Sue Yeandle, Director, Centre for International Research on Care, Labour & Equalities, in the Department of Sociological Studies at the University of Sheffield and Editor-in-Chief, International Journal of Care and Caring. Offering a preview of the analysis presented in Professor Yeandle’s forthcoming book, “Making Caring Matter: The Mobilisation of Carers and its Impact on Policy-making Around the World”, the presentation highlights a proud history in the UK of campaigning for and giving voice to carers’ needs, but shows we still have much to learn from other societies.
This ‘Conversation on Care’ is open to everyone but has limited capacity so registration is required, if you would like to attend, please click here: weblearn.ox.ac.uk/direct/eval-evaluation/13281 and complete the online form.
