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
What does it mean to theorize popular transport as embodied, experiential, reflective, and aspirational? By examining Lagos, Africa’s most populous city, through its popular transport systems and visual subculture, this talk aims to reclaim new critical aesthetics of perception and imagination. It seeks to move beyond the perfunctory narrative of transportation as crisis and instead encourages a social reimagining of Africa’s popular transport as vibrant spaces of aliveness—sites of inventive and affective responses to precarity.
