The 30th Annual Middle East History and Theory (MEHAT) Conference will take place at the University of Chicago on Friday and Saturday, May 1–2, 2015. We are pleased to invite students and faculty to submit papers for the conference.
As always, we welcome a broad range of submissions from across disciplines, including (but not limited to) anthropology, art history, cinema and media studies, economics, history, literature, philosophy, politics, religion, sociology… or any other topic concerning the Middle East from the advent of Islam to the present day. This year we are particularly interested in submissions relating to the fields of modern Arabic literature and Central Eurasian studies. A small number of conference participants with papers in those areas may be eligible to receive a modest travel subsidy.
We are thrilled to announce that the keynote address at the 2015 conference will be delivered by Michael Cook of Princeton University.
Those wishing to participate should send a 250-word abstract to the conference organizers at MEHATConference@gmail.com
