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
I will discuss the under-theorized role that the erosion of the rule of law has played in the attempted consolidation of Russian democracy and re-establishment of authoritarianism. As a means of periodization and development of analytical concepts, I will discuss three public legal filings that I have made: (1) a 2011 report on the second conviction of Mikhail Khodorkovsky requested by the Presidential Council of the Russian Federation for Civil Society and Human Rights; (2) a 2020 third-party intervention before the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Navalnyy & Ofitserov v. Russia; and (3) a 2023 amicus curiae brief to the Russian Constitutional Court concerning Article 20.3.3 of the Russian Federation Code of Administrative Offenses.
