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
Northern Exposure: Race, nation and disaffection in post-Brexit Wakefield
The ESRC Project (2018-2022), Northern Exposure: Race, Nation and Disaffection in “Ordinary” Towns and Cities after Brexit set itself the task of challenging simplifications about diversity and social polarisation that predominate in the political sociology of Brexit and after. It was based on a wide range of oral history interviews with mainly elderly residents in four typical mid-sized towns in the North of England and extensive co-productive fieldwork with local authorities and third-sector actors there. The presentation will offer both an introduction to the human geography and political landscape of the North of England, as well as a detailed study of two marginal, socio-economically deprived locations in the South Yorkshire district of Wakefield that might be assumed to be archetypes of post-industrial decline and associated White English political disaffection.
