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
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.
