OxTalks is Changing
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
The Real Terrorism Threat Facing the West and What to Do About It
Sara Kamali holds a doctorate in religious studies from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and is a Visiting Academic at St Antony’s College. Her research focuses on religious violence as well as religious literacy and interfaith engagement. She is also the founder and executive director of ForgetMeNot International, a U.S.-based charity with a mission to educate and empower orphans worldwide. In this seminar, Dr Kamali will draw upon direct interviews with homegrown violent extremists in the West to present a comparative study of two major security threats currently facing the United States, Britain, and their Western allies: religious activists respectively motivated by their understanding of Christianity and Islam. The discussion will also address what to do about these troubling phenomena.
