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
All of our bodies are gradually undergoing metamorphosis. Over the course of human life, we all become disabled. Yet, many people with extraordinary bodies and minds experience discrimination in everyday life. Just as Gregor Samsa was shunned, many disabled people are excluded in social interactions and are alienated by the built environment. Our speakers will be asked to imagine metamorphosis and transformations on a grand societal scale.
This event will be live-captioned for deaf and hard-of-hearing audience members.
