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
Despite a relationship between gender and support for populist causes in cross-national research, the role of gender has been missing in analysis of support for Brexit, probably because women and men showed no average aggregate-level differences in voting Leave or Remain. This, we argue, misses an important part of the explanation for Britain’s vote to leave the European Union. Using novel survey measures, we demonstrate (i) the nature of perceptions of discrimination towards men and women; (ii) the sociological sources of perceptions that men – and women – are discriminated against; and (iii) the role of these perceptions in the Brexit vote. This paper offers a novel contribution to understanding the cultural backlash behind Britain’s vote to leave the European Union.
