OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Jihad and Geopolitics: Islamist Militancy and the Remaking of the Middle East
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.
