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
Redesigning Democracy is a series of conferences that aims to start an original conversation that pushes normative discourses on African politics towards alternative narratives that incorporate creative dissidence, popular culture, histories and emergent forms of everyday innovative social change. The conference adopts an expansive view of (electoral) politics in hopes of shifting the parochial binary discourses of power often articulated around masses vs elites by critically centring otherwise marginal voices and actors.
