ASMEA2018

Call for Papers

Scholars from any discipline, tenured or non-tenured faculty, or those otherwise affiliated with a recognized research institution, may submit proposals to present at the Eleventh Annual ASMEA Conference. Unique proposals from senior graduate students (ABD) also are welcome. Proposals on topics related to the Middle East and Africa should consist of a one-page summary of new and unpublished research.  Submissions can be made via the ASMEA website. Deadline for paper proposal submissions is April 30, 2018.

ASMEA is offering Research and Travel Grant Opportunities in addition to its call for papers. The Research Grant Program is designed to stimulate new and diverse lines of discourse on topics that deserve greater attention within the regions of the Middle East and Africa. Grants of up to $2500 will be awarded. Program guidelines and qualifying research topic areas can be found on the ASMEA website. 

The Travel Grant Program is primarily for interested Ph.D. students, post-Docs, and junior faculty studying the Middle East or Africa. Grants of up to $750 will be awarded. This year's program is divided into two types of travel grants: the first is for scholars of the Middle East and the second is intended for scholars of Africa focused on the world of Islam, Islamism, and related issues in the continent.

The deadline for grant submissions is April 15, 2018.
