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
Fascist Passions: MAGA and Washington DC' Gerard Toal (Virginia Tech)
The return of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement to power has been accompanied by an attack on cities, starting with Washington DC. Drawing upon the literature that seeks to understand Trump and MAGA, this talk examines whether fascist passions, as some have argued, are the motivation for this assault on Washington DC. Identifying a series of moments during Trump’s first term, and with particular focus on the Black Lives Matters clashes of June 2020, this talk seeks to document the emotional reasoning and animating passions driving Trump and the MAGA movement.
