Friday Seminars

The Middle East Centre at St Antony’s College regularly hosts guest speakers on Fridays during term time. Our events are open to the public and are held in the Investcorp Lecture Theatre, St Antony’s College, 62 Woodstock Road.

Our events are usually audio recorded and the edited audio recording is made available later during the academic year on our University of Oxford Middle East Centre podcast series (accessibility features will be available):podcasts.ox.ac.uk/series/middle-east-centre
