CfP: The Third Annual BRISMES Graduate Conference

6-7 July 2007
UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD

The British Society for Middle Eastern Studies (BRISMES) Graduate Section seeks submissions from graduate students of all levels from all universities in the United Kingdom, exploring any Middle East-related subject from the Arab League to Zand painting.

Highlights of the Conference:

• Gain conference experience in a comfortable and supportive environment
• Participate in a poster exhibition to learn about other students' projects
• Take part in panels on academic and non-academic careers
• Join a session on overseas fieldwork
• Get involved with the BRISMES Graduate Section
• Socialize with colleagues while enjoying one of Britain's most beautiful universities

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, we are able to offer modest travel grants to speakers coming from universities in the UK, and meals during the conference to all those giving papers.

Please submit a 250 word abstract on any Middle East-related topic by 31 March 2007 to the conference committee at john.knight@ sant.ox.ac. uk

Abstracts will be judged anonymously and those selected to speak will be notified by 15 April 2007.
