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
Abstract: Electric mobility is showing promise as one component of a long-term low-carbon transition. But is widespread success guaranteed?
And what roles can policymakers, consumers, and other stakeholders play in assuring a socially beneficial transition. Dr. Jonn Axsen shares insights into these questions, drawing from his reflexive, multi-method research program over the last 12 years. His published studies include analyses of consumer surveys, semi-structured interviews, technology adoption models, dynamic simulation models and policy analysis. Focusing on the case of electric mobility in North America’s passenger vehicle sector, he summarizes results suggesting the size of the potential consumer market, the role of this market in achieving 2050 climate change mitigation goals, and the particularly critical role of policy in inducing such a transition. Further, the presentation will attempt to illustrate the value of reflexivity in one’s research program, drawing from multiple methods, theories and viewpoints over time.
