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
Trump’s 2016 election has sparked a major upsurge in protest in the U.S. Bringing together a diverse set of issues and constituencies, activists have organized thousands of protests with over six million participants in the year following the inauguration. Additionally, more than five thousand local organizations have been established by the anti-Trump Indivisible mobilization network. I draw on protest event data to track the main issues and claims at the forefront of the movement. Second, I examine the local patterning of mobilization focusing on the role of prior movement activity, partisan political dynamics, and lifestyle politics as major drivers of movement mobilization. Building on the analyses, I draw implications for theories of protest, movements, and politics and possible lessons for the future of activism during the Trump presidency.
