On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk

While social class has received renewed attention as a driver of political conflict in Western democracies, we know little about when these class differences emerge. We apply a life-course approach to identify how social classes differ in their political preferences at different life stages (as a consequence of family origin, during early adulthood, and on the job). These distinctions allow us to adjudicate the stage(s) at which class conflict becomes more marked and consolidated. Are class differences a direct consequence of economic prospects and daily experiences on the job, or are they the driven by a sorting process responding to earlier formative experiences? Our longitudinal analyses using British and Swiss panel data indicate that differences by (future) class are apparent early in life, but that they consolidate during employment. This research advances current and historical debates about social class as a relevant milieu of political socialization and public opinion formation.
