Call for Papers: ASMEA Annual Conference
The second annual conference of the Association for the Study of the Middle East and Africa (ASMEA) will be held 22-24 October 2009 at the Key Bridge Marriott in Washington, D.C. ASMEA is a new academic society dedicated to promoting the highest standards of research and teaching in Middle Eastern and African studies, and related fields. It is a response to the mounting interest in these increasingly inter-related fields, and the absence of any single group addressing them in a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary fashion.
The Association currently is seeking proposals to present papers at the 2009 conference. Abstracts should pertain to theme of the conference and consist of a one page outline of the subject.
Among the areas of scholarship that ASMEA is interested in exploring are the issues relating to:
- Conflict and crime in Africa and the Middle East
- Genocide
- Terrorism
- Organized crime
- Corruption
- Piracy
- Truth and reconciliation commissions
- Democratization
The deadline is 1 June 2009.
