[Bilimsel Haber] CfP: 9th Annual Southwest Graduate Conference in Middle Eastern Studies (University of Arizona)

[Onur Inal]

Call For Papers

The Middle East and North Africa Graduate Student Association of the
University of Arizona is pleased to announce its 9th annual Southwest
Graduate Conference in Middle Eastern Studies in cooperation with the
University of Arizona Department of Near Eastern Studies and the Center for
Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Arizona. This year's theme is
Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives in Middle Eastern Studies.

This conference features student presenters at both the M.A. and Ph.D. level
and provides a friendly forum to practice submitting a proposal and
presenting a conference paper. It also allows graduate students to make
connections with specialists in the field and to receive constructive
feedback from faculty commentators on work-in-progress. Each year a keynote
speaker is invited to speak on an aspect of his or her work in an event open
to the public.

This event offers an opportunity for up-and-coming scholars with similar
interests to network and is also an ideal form for encouraging collaboration
across disciplines and specializations. For this reason we encourage paper
submissions not only from students studying within Middle Eastern Studies
departments but also from associated disciplines such as anthropology,
history, political science, linguistics, comparative literature etc. Papers
should address topics on within the geographical area of Iran, Turkey,
Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Arab World, and other areas such as Spain and
Southeastern Europe that were parts of Middle Eastern empires or
civilizations and be the author's original, unpublished work.

Selected papers will be compiled and published in the conference journal
Zaytoon and will be available after the conference.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Arabic, Persian, Turkish
or Hebrew linguistics

Gender studies
International and domestic politics
Ethnicity and nationalism
Media and music studies
Colonialism and post-colonial theory
Urban planning and politics of space
Art and architecture of the Islamic world
