OxTalks is Changing
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
Brave Spaces
The People’s Supper – thepeoplessupper.org – gathered thousands of people to talk after one of America’s most contentious elections in 2016. Through this project together with social justice movement work and personal relationships, Micky ScottBey Jones – the Justice Doula – has learned to create Brave Spaces. Here our humanity is centred and we are all invited to learn, grow and do better as we know better for the liberation of all.
So often we hear about safe space – the promise of a judgement and harm-free environment. But is that even possible? Micky is calling us to a different practice – one where we can bravely risk mistakes, call each other to more truth and love, and co-create a space where we each have room to grow as activists while still being accountable to one another. If we want to work towards the abolition of systems of harm and oppression, we need to practise that in our own relationships.
Join Micky for an interactive conversation and exploration of creating brave space together.
Mansfield College is part of the University of Oxford. Its mission is to make the University more accessible and it has the highest state sector intake of Oxford colleges. We hope you enjoy our free public events.
