Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
With the advent of molecular genetic data and complementary analyses techniques, it becomes possible to integrate DNA into (standard) social demographic research and to ask new research questions for the very first time. In this talk, I will give an overview of new insights we can draw given these opportunities. I will discuss genetic discovery (GWAS) for social science outcomes such as educational attainment and fertility behaviour, give examples of genetic confounding across generations, gene-environment interaction, causal analyses using genetic information and discuss how we can answer old and persisting questions about genetic effects on social behaviour.
