The First Virtual Research Workshop organized by the Middle East Studies Association will be held online from June 2-4, 2026.
All are invited to submit proposals for the First Virtual Research Workshop held by MESA online. Proposals should relate to MESA’s mission of scholarship and advocacy primarily concerning the region of the Middle East (including Southwest Asia, the Arab world, and North Africa) from the seventh century to today, though not at the exclusion of earlier time periods. Other areas of Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas—including diaspora communities—are also included as part of the study of the transnational dimensions of the societies of the Middle East in an interdisciplinary and comparative context.
Questions about the call for proposals are always welcome. Please email virtualworkshop@mesana.org.
