On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Measuring and combatting bias has been a central focus of policy and research in domains including employment, courts, news, medicine, college admissions, and AI. Yet notions of a what it means for a decision to be unbiased remain contested and often contradictory. I present a unified framework to define notions of bias and lack of bias across these and other domains, consider when “unbiased” is (or often isn’t) a helpful concept, relate these definitions to empirical evidence, and draw lessons for those seeking to combat harmful biases in society.
