On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Toward the end of the sixteenth century, the Mughal empire implemented Sulh-i Kull or ‘Total Peace (with all Religions)’. This policy, under which all religions were to be treated as equals, was unique among the Muslim and Christian empires of the early modern world. It was also controversial from an Islamic and Biblical perspective because it negated the supremacy of any one religion. In these lectures, Prof. Moin will explore the origins and nature of this Mughal policy. He will also examine how pre-modern Muslim kings in South Asia and elsewhere solved the general problem of peace-making and oath-taking across religious divides.
