Middle Eastern & North African Studies Conference
Oxford, England
2 June 2012
Venue: Lady Margaret Hall (Oxford University)
Call for Abstracts
The annual Middle Eastern and North African Studies Conference in Oxford is a forum for all those who are concerned and would like to have an overall picture of the perspectives emerging from this very crucial zone of our world. This vast expanse of our planet represents lands and nation that are interrelated by historical, cultural, political and religious facts. It may be imprudent to endeavour to achieve an all inclusive comprehension of events in certain sections of this significant area in isolation and without bearing in mind the influences emanating from across the entire zone. Thus holding events such as these could offer a unique opportunity for all interested to come together and put the pieces together.
We invite proposals touching upon all countries in the Middle East and North Africa on areas such as:
Literature and Literary Developments
Politics and International Relations
Education
Economy, Commerce, Finance and Banking
Society and People
Culture
Art and Cinema
History
Religion and Islam
Media; newspapers, traditional and satellite TV channels, Internet based mediums
Deadline for Abstracts Submission: 2nd May 2012
