OxTalks is Changing
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
Maryam – The Muslim Mary: A Symbol of Devotion, Virtue and Hope
St Mary or Maryam is venerated by Christians and Muslims around the world as a devout human being, woman and mother of Jesus. In her presentation, Dr Sayilgan will examine the Islamic portrayal of Mary as described in the Qur’an and the holy narrations of Prophet Muhammad – both normative sources for Muslims. She will identify similarities and differences that emerge in the Muslim depictions of Mary. By presenting examples of Islamic art and architecture, Dr Sayilgan will highlight St Mary’s importance in Muslim life. Finally, Dr Sayilgan will share how she as a Muslim woman and mother draws wisdom, guidance and inspiration from this religious figure for her own life.
