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.

The politics of demographic imagination
In a democracy, numbers matter. When numbers change, power changes hands. The democratic narrative insists that power changes hands primarily because voters change their minds. But it could also be because a sizeable group of new voters joins the polity and reshapes it. My lecture considers how the demographic anxiety and the fears that governments can use immigration as an instrument to elect their people can turn European societies against democracy.
