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
Mountain Tales looks at India’s dizzying growth, its rising inequality and widening social rifts through its biggest landfill — Mumbai’s Deonar Dumping Grounds. The author followed a teenaged waste picker Farzana for eight years, to chronicle the impact of overconsumption and legal and administrative delays on the lives of the most vulnerable people in the city. Through Farzana’s life — the book explores who is development for and what gives meaning to our modern lives. The author Saumya Roy will be in conversation with Keshava Guha, in this event cohosted by the Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development and the Oxford India Society.
