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.
More than half the world’s population now lives in urban areas, where there remain large health inequalities between and within cities. Many of these health risks are environmental, with the most vulnerable at greatest exposure to environmental health risks. Dr Alison Smith, Senior Research Associate at the Environmental Change Institute, Dr Anant Jani, Honorary Research Fellow Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, and Sam Bickersteth, Executive Director of Rockefeller Foundation Economic Council on Planetary Health, will be discussing these issues. We ask why these inequalities emerge and persist, even when recognised by governments. Looking to the future, we’ll also look at predicted trends in inequality and environmental health risks in an increasingly urbanised world.
