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
Book Launch: Islamic Law in Saudi Arabia by Dominik Krell
Light lunch will be provided for those attending in person.
We would like to invite you to the book launch: Islamic Law in Saudi Arabia by Dominik Krell (BRILL 2025).
The book offers an in-depth exploration of the Saudi judiciary in the twenty-first century. Drawing on Saudi legal literature and court judgments, as well as interviews with leading members of the judiciary, the author addresses two central questions: first, what is the Saudi jurists’ understanding of an Islamic judiciary? And second, how is this understanding reflected in the Saudi legal system, its laws, institutions, and court practices?
The event will feature three speakers who will comment on the book:
Fernanda Pirie (Centre for Socio-Legal Studies)
Martin Lau (SOAS)
Muhammad Zubair Abbasi (Royal Holloway)
