Uncomfortable Oxford is an academic-led social enterprise that researches and runs critical thinking tours of Oxford. We lead discussion-based tours that are designed to raise questions about historical memory, wealth inequality, race, gender, and class discrimination, and local connections to empire. Our tours are a uniquely engaging experience, ideal for participants who are interested in an educational and insightful activity.
Unearth the stories of those who are often left out of traditional narratives of Oxford: Women, people of colour, and LQBTQIA+ individuals.
This guided journey around Oxford will go back in time to highlight the many ways that women have historically experienced the urban space and family life, uncover how masculinities have shaped and been shaped by the university, and discuss queer experiences in the city.
Together we will analyse the urban landscape and material culture, discuss gendered geographies, and push back on social expectations.
Tour Itinerary:
If you've ever wondered about the other side of Oxford, the history that you won't hear about on the traditional tours, then this Hidden Histories tour is for you! And you won't just be going away with new knowledge and new skills – all the proceeds from the tour will be donated to the Oxfordshire Sexual Abuse and Rape Crisis Centre, a charity supporting survivors in the local area.
I will be standing inside the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, by the entrance to St Luke's Chapel, wearing a bright, fluorescent vest!
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
