OxTalks is Changing
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
Cultural, Disruptive, and Organizational Sources of Movement Power
Over the past two decades scholars have published numerous articles and books on the consequences of social movements. This talk present a broader assessment of our progress to date and a roadmap for future studies. Early scholarship focused on debates about the conceptualization of movement success and whether movement’s have independent effects. However, scholars have failed to theorize expectations regarding pathways and mechanisms of movement influence—or lack thereof. I identify three main types of mechanisms: cultural, disruptive, and organizational, and I show how scholars can focus on these to advance understanding of movement influence.
