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
In this eye-opening talk, Professor Thomas Hegghammer draws on years of research into militant Islamist movements to explore how jihadism has influenced the collapse of the Assad regime and altered the balance of power across the region. With deep regional knowledge and a sharp analytical lens, he’ll examine how clandestine activism and militant ideologies are disrupting traditional state structures—and what this means for the future of governance in the Middle East. Hegghammer is Senior Research Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford, and author of landmark works including Jihad in Saudi Arabia and Al-Qaida in its Own Words.
