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.
Armed movements and insurgent groups in the Islamic world, the latest variant of which is ISIS, have often been understood and represented as being motivated by Islamic scripture and doctrine. This paper challenges the idea that ISIS is motivated by Islamic doctrine and argues that ISIS have a clear-cut political and communicative agenda that they use Islam to legitimise. Conceptualising ISIS’ actions through this political and communicative framework is essential to understanding and responding to its activities, appeal and influence.
