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
Youth Voting in the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election and Beyond
Early analyses suggest historic levels of youth turnout in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, yet young people still turned out at almost half the rate of older voters. This age gap in turnout is much worse in the United States than other democracies around the world. What explains dismal levels of youth turnout? And what policy reforms might solve it? Hillygus will present her new book with John Holbein, Making Young Voter: Converting Civic Attitudes into Civic Behavior (Cambridge University Press, 2020) as well as lessons for the future of youth civic engagement from the 2020 presidential election.
