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
MFO / OxPo SYMPOSIUM ‘Contemporary research on environmental movements’
As the twin biodiversity and climate crises are ever more pressing and difficult to ignore, governments and political parties across Europe are disputing the need to address them effectively, while managing the growing backlash against environmental politicies. After the renewed climate mobilisations from 2018, the cycle for mass protest, public support and ambitious policy goals seems on the wane. As the political context for climate activism continues to change, as the window of opportunity for mitigation continues to close (e.g. discussions of tipping points), and as activists continue to pursue strategic innovations (e.g. new forms of disruption), what are we to say about the current state, direction and (potential) successes of these historic movements? This meeting brings together UK- and France-based scholars working on environmental activism in Europe to present and collectively discuss their current research agendas, followed by a common discussion.
