Hello all,

The Department of Middle Eastern Studies, University of Cambridge,  
invites
papers to be presented at the Second International Symposium on Middle
Eastern Studies (17th - 18th October, 2009). The focus this year will  
be on
'Knowledge and Language in Middle Eastern Societies'. Papers can cover  
any
period or region in Middle Eastern Studies broadly defined. We encourage
papers to reflect on broader methodological or disciplinary questions of
interest to the field, focusing on, but not limited to, the following
topics:

1) Language, society and politics
2) Linguistic, historiographical, and literary analysis
3) Transmission and classification of knowledge
4) Production and distribution of religious and secular ideas

Graduate students are encouraged to apply. Abstracts should be sent by  
email
to the committee (mes-symposium2009 at ames.cam.ac.uk) latest by 10th  
April,
2009. Submissions should be no more than 300 words in MS Word or PDF  
format,
and should include your name, affiliation and academic institution. The
University of Cambridge will provide complimentary accommodation to
speakers.
More information can be found on

Thank you for your interest and support,

Sincerely,
Husain Qutbuddin
