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
Please join us for a Panel Discussion highlighting the experiences and perspectives of female leaders in the climate movement from around the world. This event, hosted collaboratively by Rhodes Women and Gender Minorities (RWGM) and the Rhodes Environment and Climate Action Hub (REACH), aims to facilitate deeply interdisciplinary discussions pertaining to the intersection of gender and environmental justice, female leadership in the climate space, and the crucial work of amplifying female, genderqueer and non-binary voices to address the climate crisis.
This two hour event will include two separate panel discussions covering a diverse range of topics, as well as opportunities for live Q&A.
Our panel of diverse and international speakers includes:
Dr. Katharine Wilkinson (USA) – Principal writer and editor in chief of Project Drawdown, strategist, author and public speaker
