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
The effect of place-based identity on preferences for descriptive localism in candidates
For those attending in-person, the entrance to CESS is located at George Street Mews and you will need to ring the bell when you have arrived.
Previous experimental studies of voters’ preferences for descriptive localism in candidates have omitted to evaluate the effect of a potentially decisive factor, voters’ own place-based identities. Here, I propose to do that, combining a vignette designed to prime voters’ attachment to their neighbourhood with a conjoint. I also address a second shortcoming in the experimental candidate evaluation literature: the conflating of some candidate localism cues, and a lack of variation in cues—typically focusing only on birthplace, distance of residence, and where the candidate studied—compared to other traits, such as education.
