OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future 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 on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

To observers across the political spectrum, American politics appears increasingly divided. Long-standing divisions of race, ethnicity, gender, class, and rural-urban remain powerful, but a more fundamental split may now be emerging between those who support the existing democratic order and those who do not. In this event, Robert Lieberman will analyse what today’s political cleavages mean for the future of American democracy, and place current conditions in a broader historical and comparative perspective.
Robert C. Lieberman is Krieger-Eisenhower Professor of Political Science at Johns Hopkins University. He is the author and editor of numerous books and articles on American political development, race and politics, and American democracy, including most recently Four Threats: The Recurring Crises of American Democracy and Democratic Resilience: Can the United States Withstand Rising Polarization?
