OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This panel-symposium brings together four eminent scholars who will use their expertise to illuminate the recent political and moral economy of the United States and the rise of what some have called a new American oligarchy; and others have termed populist authoritarianism. The event will not only discuss how the United States arrived at its current state of politics, but pathways toward an alternative political-economic order.
Speakers are Melinda Cooper (Australian National University), author of Counter-Revolution and Family Values; Kristin Kobes Du Mez (Calvin University), author of Jesus and John Wayne; Joel Suarez (Harvard University), author of Labor of Liberty, forthcoming; and Noam Maggor (Queen Mary University of London), author of Brahmin Capitalism.
Topics include economic elites and governance, labor and the working class, and evangelicals and white Christian nationalism.
