OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Book Discussion: The Emotions of LGBT Rights and Reforms
A conversation with Dr. Sen Raj (Manchester) about his new book on the role of emotion in political & legal contestations about LGBT+ rights. Drawing from critical socio-legal theory, the book develops the concept of “emotional grammar” to examine how emotions guide efforts to reform anti-discrimination & gender recognition laws, bans on “conversion therapy,” and sex education in the US, UK, and Australia.
