2025-2026

Writer and journalist Omar El Akkad joined CRiCS’ Palestine Reading Group to discuss his recent book, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This, via Zoom. The author answered questions about the book in an informal and intimate dialogue, which was expertly facilitated by Jenny Heijun Wills.

On Friday, October 24 at 1:30pm we hosted the launch of CRiCS member Jane Barter’s excellent new book, Theopolitics and the Era of the Witness (Routledge, 2025). This event featured Drs. Jane Barter (presenter), Jason Hannan (moderator), and Anupama Ranawana (Durham University, respondent).

Please note: this event is for CRiCS members and special invited guests only.
