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
The talk will discuss findings from my just-pre-pandemic book, Regimes of Inequality: The Political Economy of Health and Wealth (Cambridge University Press 2020), to shed light on the causes of cross-national similarities and differences and in social policy responses to Covid-19. Welfare regimes of the trente glorieuses cast long shadows, interacting with place-specific forms of neoliberalism in the 1990s and 2000s to short-circuit efforts to reduce inequalities in health and underlying socioeconomic status. Legacies of these earlier welfare regimes continue to shape governments’ efforts to control health inequalities during the COVID-19 era.
