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.

Summary:
Representative democracy is a system born in the eighteenth century under different epistemological, conceptual, and technological constraints. What if we could reinvent democracy from scratch today, using all the tools are our disposal since the digital revolution? In this colloquium, Hélène Landemore explores how her new paradigm of “open democracy,” in which the center of power is meant to be accessible to all equally, could be technologically empowered and AI-augmented to meet 21st century expectations and challenges.
