*Publishing in Middle Eastern Journals
*

We are currently looking for submissions on a broad variety of topics - 
e.g. architecture, natural sciences, economics, gender studies, 
literature, theology, social sciences, media studies - for the following 
two Lebanese university based journals.

All potentially interested colleagues in Lebanon as well as all foreign 
academics from both Western and Tricont university scholars and 
independent researchers who might consider submitting their articles on 
the MENA region to a refereed journal in the Middle East will be 
considered.

*AL-RAIDA - LAU (non-refereed)*
Al-Raida (The Pioneer) is the journal of the Institute of Women's 
Studies in the Arab World at Lebanese American University. IWSAW 
publishes Al-Raida as a quarterly, non-refereed, semi-academic magazine 
consisting of a file on a specific topic, as well as interviews, book 
and film reviews, conference reports, announcements, etc. A total of 102 
volumes have been published to date. As of 2004, IWSAW will also be 
publishing an annual scholarly journal, whereby all submissions will be 
sent out for peer review.

Al-Raida is currently preparing an issue with a special file on Arab 
Women and War. It has sent out a call for submissions for the next 
issue, submission deadline April 15, on Arab Masculinity. The last issue 
had file on Non-Arab Women in the Arab World. Check out the website 
www.lau.edu.lb.

*PALMA JOURNAL - NDU (fully refereed)*
Palma Journal is the Interdisciplinary Research Journal of Notre Dame de 
Louaize University. It is a biannual publication of which a total of 9 
volumes have been published to date. As of the last volume (No. 9), 
Palma Journal has become a fully refereed academic publication. Palma 
Journal's goal is to publish articles on all topics of academic interest 
written by Lebanese scholars as well as articles on the Middle East and 
North Africa by authors from other parts of the world. Our goal is to 
improve academic discourse and exchange between the MENA region and the 
rest of the international academic community. See www.ndu.edu.lb

Please be aware that, for reasons of domestic security, both journals 
are currently not permitted by Lebanese law to consider articles from 
anyone openly associated with the State of Israel.
