OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
