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
Saiyyidah Zaidi is the first Muslim in Britain to complete a Doctorate in Practical Theology. Her research explores identity and interculturality through the lens of a single Muslim in a Christian field. Her thesis considers if a Muslim Brown British Woman can belong in Practical Theology and, if so, on what basis. Using a constructivist, inductive approach to explore the research question, Saiyyidah employs autoethnography methods and uses a c/Critical i/Intersubjectivity lens to engage with ‘conversation partners’; drawing out insights into the research question that are otherwise unavailable. In this presentation for the Centre for Muslim-Christian Studies Saiyyidah will focus on her autoethnographies related to the Summer School she attended at the Centre in 2019 and the subsequent analysis of this experience.
