The Middle East and North Africa Graduate Student Organization (MENA), the Center for Middle Eastern Studies (CMES), and the School of Middle Eastern and North African Studies (MENAS) at the University of Arizona cordially invite you to participate in the 12th Annual Southwest Graduate Conference in Middle Eastern and North African Studies to be held from Wednesday, March 28, 2012 to Friday, March 30, 2012 in Tucson, Arizona.  

This conference aims to strengthen ties between academic disciplines, provide a platform for graduate students to present their research projects, exchange ideas, and create a network of emerging scholars spanning a variety of fields. For this reason, we encourage abstract submissions not only from students within Middle Eastern Studies programs, but also from disciplines such as Anthropology, Economics, Education, Gender & Women’s Studies, Geography, History, Law, Linguistics, Literature, Music Studies, Philosophy, Political Science, Public Health, Religious Studies, etc.
