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
We are honored to be welcoming two renowned historians, Dr. Sami Moubayed and Dr. Eugene Rogan, who will help us uncover the details and significance of this historic event, and what it can tell us about Syrian politics and society.
Dr. Sami Moubayed is an author, historian and former scholar at the Carnegie Middle East Center. Dr. Moubayed is a co-founder of the Syrian Studies Center at St Andrews University and founding chairman of the Damascus History Foundation.
Dr. Eugene Rogan is the director of St Antony’s College Middle East Center, professor of Modern Middle Eastern history and the Senior Member of the Oxford Syria Society. Dr. Rogan is the recipient of multiple awards for his work on Ottoman and Arab history.
