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.

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.
This workshop proposes to examine the ways in which extractivism is represented in film, poetry, orality and literary fiction from the Global South. By exploring perspectives on extractivism from Angola, Brazil, the Caribbean, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, India, Nigeria and South Africa, we seek to highlight the connections between coloniality and environmental destruction while grounding our reflection in the material realities of the Global South.

1.30pm – 3.30pm: Panel 2 – Topographies of Extractivism and Precarious Lives
