Time: 6.30-8pm
Venue: Old Theatre, Old Building
Speaker: Professor Charles Hirschkind
A look at the politics of the Salafi movement in Egypt in relation to changing practices of religious media use. The movement is the political face of a much broader and diverse current within Egyptian society, one grounded less in a specific tradition within Islam than in a grassroots movement centred on ethical reform.
