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
In this lecture Fiona Williams will explain how care as practice, as policy, as ethic, and as transnational dynamic lends itself to a critical intersectional perspective. She will look at care as an area of crisis at different scales – local, national, transnational and global – which is marked by two key dynamics: the longstanding devaluation of care as practice, work and ethic, and (following Rai) the depletion of support, resources and time to enable people’s capacity to care and be cared for. However, these dynamics are also caught up in two other global crises: of climate change and of racial (in)justice. Drawing on intersectionality as praxis, she will argue that understanding these intersections is an important basis for creating the necessary conceptual and political alliances for progressive transformation.
Booking is required for people outside of the Department of Social Policy and Intervention (DSPI).
