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.

‘I examine the effects of intergenerational social mobility on political (dis)content in Britain through 3 connected papers. First, using a conjoint experiment, I analyse what exactly voters perceive as economically successful outcomes, including social mobility’s role within that. The experimental design allows me to interpret how the public trade-off these attributes. For example, how the British public trade-off social mobility against poverty, earnings inequality, growth, inflation, and unemployment rates. Second, I show how intergenerationally mobile voters’ positions in the Brexit referendum differ from their non-mobile counterparts. Third, beyond one’s own mobility, I investigate how historic levels of social mobility in one’s local area influences political attitudes and voting behaviour.’
