OxTalks is Changing
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
What do we really know about social class mobility in the UK?

What do we really know about social class mobility in the UK?
What are the basic facts about intergenerational social class mobility in the UK? Before we can either attempt to explain the facts or decide if a policy response to them is needed, we need to establish what they are. This turns out to be far from straightforward. Different sources and different observational designs produce somewhat different facts. I contrast the results from prospective cohort-based designs, linkage of census data and repeated cross-sections. The latter suggest that until the turn of the 21st Century both absolute and relative rates of class mobility increased. Should we believe that these data capture the outcome of changes in the social processes that produce social class mobility, or can we explain what we appear to see purely in terms of concurrent change in the technology of data capture?
