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
Most of us will experience several career changes in our professional lives, whether desired or imposed. That means living through a time of transition, the subjective experience of moving from old to new roles and self-conceptions. In this lecture, Herminia will discuss the nature of identity, the primacy of work in shaping and changing our sense of self, the vagaries of finding oneself ‘betwixt and between’ identities, and the importance of work activities, social networks and personal narratives in both loosening old identifications and experimenting with new possible selves.
