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
This seminar will explore the use of the Critical Poetic Inquiry (CPI) as a method for transformative change in education research. Commencing with a brief overview of CPI as method, we will explore new and creative ways to engage in the subversion of colonial logic. We will discuss CPI as a tool for doing decoloniality and championing change. Attendees will examine the role of poetry and performance in transforming theoretical ideas from objects of intellectual consideration into means of emotive academic engagement. Centralising decoloniality, this workshop will invite attendees to reconsider and reform their conceptualisation of research by reframing their own scholarship through poetic methods. Attendees will be invited to create poems of their own that creatively communicate the concepts at the centre of their academic work. Our engagement in creative processes seeks to encourage the reimagination of educational research in the hope that decolonial futures can be more than a mere figment of imagination but become a manifest reality.
