Middle East History And Theory (MEHAT)

This workshop serves as a multidisciplinary platform where University students in the humanities and social sciences can discuss a wide array of academic questions related to the history, culture, societies and politics of the Middle East. As an area studies workshop, we accept papers dealing with this broad range of subjects throughout the geography of the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia, and over a time span extending from the advent of Islam to the present. One of the workshop’s main concerns is to bridge the existing gap between factual and theoretical approaches to studies of the Middle East.
