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
Islamic Umma and Nationalism in a Postmodern World
Nationalism that developed in Europe reached the Muslim world in the 20th century, and it
hardly brought peace as it brought ethnic and religious rivalries to the fore. Simultaneously,
the growth of multiculturalism in a globalized postmodern world is threatening national sovereignty. Secular Liberals such as Jurgen Habermas warns that a national consciousness based on a culturally homogenous population has lost its integrative potential at the expense of growing diverse complex societies. Hence, both Eastern and Western scholars ask the same question: what would a new global order look like?
