On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The redistribution of welfare resources to migrants continues to polarise societies, including the UK. Not only politicians from the radical right but also from more mainstream parties are capitalising on the idea of ‘welfare for our kind’, or welfare chauvinism. In her new book “Welfare Chauvinism in Europe”, Gianna creates an extensive overview of welfare chauvinism’s causes and consequences. In particular, the book sheds light on the multidimensionality of the opposition towards welfare for migrants across countries, time, social policies, and migrant groups. Hereby, Gianna exposes hidden nuances regarding welfare chauvinism that are frequently overlooked in current discourse. Using high-quality data on public attitudes and macro-level conditions, her new book also investigates the common misperception that higher levels of education universally lead to more tolerant attitudes and she argues that governments and welfare institutions play a crucial role in shaping public opinion.
