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. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
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.
How to inhabit our common home at the present time is an ethical question of great urgency. The environmental crisis is impacting individuals and communities differently around the world, exposing inequalities and vulnerabilities that become more stark with every passing decade. Within this context human rights can provide a framework for response in which the interconnectedness of the economic, political, environmental, and cultural dimensions of the crisis are foregrounded, and in which the perspective of vulnerable individuals and communities is made central.
This lecture will explore how women’s existing vulnerabilities are amplified and re- inscribed as the effects of environmental degradation become ever-more severe, and will consider the value of human rights perspectives as a means to address these challenges.
