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
Norms, Values and Theories
The seminars for Hilary Term have been chosen in order to give an opportunity to academics and/or policy analysts to theorise about ageing and old age; and to reflect critically upon the values and norms that shape our responses to the prospect of longer lives in a rapidly changing world. The series, which will present work from different disciplines, sets out to explore key ideas and normative constraints that play a central role in our individual and collective thinking about ageing and old age. How have these ideas and constraints changed over time – and how are they changing now? What makes for successful ageing or productive ageing? How do we – or should we – think about well-being in later life? How do ideas about the importance of effective agency or dignity affect judgements about well-being? What are the bases for self-respect in later life? What does fairness require of arrangements for the provision of health or social care to older people?
