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
Red Wall, Red Herring? Economic insecurity and voting intention in Britain

We examined who feels economically insecure in Britain – and why – to directly explore the relationship between economic insecurity, security and vote choice. This is useful because using income or social class to analyse people’s economic circumstances misses a picture of economic insecurity and security over the age distribution.
We will discuss the distinction between younger (under 40-50s) voters as ‘will haves’ (younger graduates) and ‘won’t haves’ (younger non-graduates). Older generations are less likely to feel economically insecure, and this is true for both older graduates and non-graduates.
Understanding these differences provides a fresh perspective on the economic and political transformations sweeping the country.
