OxTalks is Changing
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
Commoning mobility (Cancelled)
Status: This talk is in preparation - details may change
Status: This talk has been cancelled
Scholars have argued that transitions to more sustainable and just mobilities require moving beyond technocentrism and rethinking the very meaning of mobility as we need to move beyond not only infrastructural, but also cultural “lock-in” of high-carbon societies. Drawing on global comparative research of low‐carbon mobility transitions, I will first examine the key logics that are driving mobility planning and problematize their effects. I will then present an alternative logic, the logic of “commoning mobility” that offers a potential to challenge primarily techno-centered transitions envisioned by public and private sector around the world, aiming at maximizing efficiency and producing seamless, individualized mobilities. Can we move from Mobility-as-a-Service ideal to Mobility-as-a-Commons as a theoretical lens and a project of rethinking mobility as a collective good and not merely an individual freedom? I will provide some examples of community-driven mobility projects and possibilities of more inclusive, collaborative mobility governance.
