On this episode of the Oxford Comment, we are taking a look at how elections are influenced by technology with the help of Jamie Susskind and Siva Vaidhyanathan. From fake news to Cambridge Analytica, the 2016 election was the first look at how digital media will influence modern campaigns. The 2018 midterm elections will amplify the effects seen by social media in the last election and how our current dependence on technology will affect the future political power structure.
Don’t forget to vote!

On this episode of The Oxford Comment we are discussing how one’s thoughts on consent are formed over a lifetime. From what students learn in school to how popular culture in their teenage years frames their reference, the psychology of consent goes beyond a seminar at university orientation. But how students are taught consent in their formative years will affect how they perceive more sensitive topics like abuse and sexual assault in during their college years. We’re joined by Donna Freitas, author of “Consent on Campus” and Brendan Kiely (@KielyBrendan) author of “All American Boys” to further discuss the role consent plays from childhood to college campuses, and into adulthood.
