OxTalks is Changing
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.

'Migration autonomy vs migrants' autonomy'
Online event
Drawing on the post-marxist “autonomist” theory, the autonomy of migrations approach argues that migration dynamics rest upon political change and social movements rather than on economic disparities and state policies. But what room is left for migrants to exert their own agency in this migratory structure? Can we reformulate a politically-driven rationality of actors and to what extent this differs from economically-driven rationality of homo economicus? How does it apply to (seemingly) apolitical forms of migration such as North to North migration?
