Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
In this illustrated talk, I outline the key arguments of my recently-published book The Next Welfare State? UK Welfare after COVID-19. While the pandemic has had a very significant impact upon the welfare state – in both the short- and the longer-term – in many ways, this just heightens the longstanding and deep-seated challenges that our welfare order has faced for at least a generation. I argue that we need definitively to settle accounts with the lingering sense that the welfare state could constitute some sort of ‘strategy of equality’. If this is what we want, we need something radically different.
