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 Right-wing Shift towards Immigrant Exclusion in Japan and Beyond
Extreme right populism is on the rise worldwide, enforcing the exclusion of immigrants and foreigners. Why does the trend towards immigrant exclusion occur? To approach this quiz, I will focus on the case of Japan, where the Sansei party became the first right-wing populist party to enter mainstream politics in the 20 July 2025 Upper House election. Through the Japanese case, I will pursue mechanisms of the emergence of right-wing populism and the exclusion of immigrants and foreigners.
