Meeting Description:

The Department of and Center for Middle Eastern Studies at the University of
Texas at Austin are happy to announce the 7th Annual Jil Jadid “New
Generation” Conference in Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Turkish Languages and
Literatures, a graduate student conference to be held at the University of
Texas at Austin, February 24-25, 2017.

Jil Jadid aims to provide a forum for young scholars spread across a variety
of disciplines to come together, share ideas and research, and discuss the
future of their respective fields. This is especially critical as we move
forward in our careers and come to represent the next generation of scholars
engaging with the Middle East and its cultures. In addition to Arabic studies,
we are pleased to welcome our colleagues in Hebrew, Persian, and Turkish in
order to facilitate a valuable interdisciplinary exchange of new ideas. 

This year, the conference will feature keynote speeches in linguistics by Dr.
Alex Magidow (University of Rhode Island), and literature by Dr. Huda
Fakhreddine (University of Pennsylvania). In addition to individual
presentations, the conference will highlight explicit opportunities for
participants to discuss their collective vision for the development of their
fields.

Call for Papers:

Topics:

All papers treating topics in Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Turkish literature
(both classical and modern) and Arabic linguistics (of all subfields,
including applied linguistics) will gladly be considered. In addition to
original research, we also encourage state-of-the-field papers that provide a
focused overview of specific subfields and propose new avenues of research in
the chosen area.

Papers to be presented at other conferences are more than welcome, as we wish
to provide a forum for students to further develop and refine their research.

The deadline for abstracts has been extended to Tuesday, December 13.
Abstracts should not include identifying information on the abstract itself

highest degree you have obtained and your current position (e.g. M.A.,
Graduate Student, etc.). Only submissions from current or recent graduate
students will be considered.

Conference Fees & Funding:

Jil Jadid requires no fees of presenters and/or attendees. 

Graduate students whose abstracts are accepted will be eligible to apply for a
limited number of partial travel grants to defray the costs of attending the
Jil Jadid conference. Lodging with local graduate students will be made
available when possible.
