OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future 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 on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

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.
