[Bilimsel Haber] CfP: San Francisco State University conference on Middle East & Islamic Studies (October 16-17, 2009)

[Onur Inal]

Dear Colleagues,
I would like to announce a call for papers for the Fall California State
University conference on Middle East and Islamic Studies to be held on the
campus of San Francisco State University October 16-17, 2009.
 
Our Call For Papers close May 30th.
 
It's going to be an unusual conference, in that it's not the expected format
of giving and listening to papers; instead it will consist of workshops
designed to facilitate collaborative work and the building of formal or
informal research teams.  There will be 6 workshops which should lead to
edited collections, collective grant proposals, or future conference panels
and workshops, for instance for MESA), as well as working on ways
electronically and otherwise to disseminate teaching ideas.
 

Workshop I: About That Other Middle East (The Non-Muslim One) 
Workshop II: Iran: Thirty Years After the Revolution 
Workshop III: Teaching the Middle East through the Humanities: Representing
the Region through Literature, Art and Film
Workshop IV: Islam in Mughal Historiography
Workshop V: Human Rights in the Middle East and the Muslim World Workshop
VI: State-Society Relations in North Africa, the Middle East, and Muslim
Asia
 
We can send you a flyer to post (write to Carel Bertram carel at sfsu.edu) But
the details of the workshops and how to send proposals is posted on this
