OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Democratic resistance to illiberalism in Hungary and Serbia
IN COOPERATION WITH SEESOX
This seminar will explore democratic opposition resistance to illiberalism in Hungary and Serbia. Drawing on recent civic mobilisations, protest movements in Serbia, and emerging spaces of opposition in both countries, the speakers will examine how citizens and local actors challenge the entrenched systems of Viktor Orbán and Aleksandar Vučić. In a comparative discussion, the seminar will shed light on the forms, limits, and potential of democratic engagement under illiberal rule in contemporary Europe.
