Meeting Description:

The Department of and Center for Middle Eastern Studies at the University
of Texas at Austin are happy to announce the 4th Annual Jil Jadid
Conference in Arabic Literature and Linguistics, a graduate student
conference to be held at the University of Texas at Austin, February 21-22,
2014.

Jil Jadid is a graduate student conference that 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
as they move forward in their careers and come to represent the eponymous
new generation of scholars engaging with the Arabic-speaking world and its
cultures. For the past three Februaries, graduate students from a wide
range of universities, both domestic and international, have assembled in
Austin to set the tone for Arabic studies in the twenty-first century. The
ongoing positive feedback we have received from these past conferences
prompts us to once again assemble with the same goal, uniting students from
linguistics, area studies, comparative literature and other departments in
order to facilitate a productive and interdisciplinary exchange of new
ideas.

Fostering fruitful, engaging, and innovative dialogue remains our topmost
priority. The conference will feature keynote speeches in both Arabic
linguistics and literature, as well as a professional development panel
offered by University of Texas faculty. In addition to individual
presentations, the conference will highlight explicit opportunities for
participants to discuss their collective vision for the development of
their fields.

The 2014 Jil Jadid Conference is sponsored by the University of Texas at
Austin's Department of Middle Eastern Studies, Center for Middle Eastern
Studies, Department of Linguistics, Program in Comparative Literature,
Department of History, and the Graduate School.

Call for Papers:

All papers treating topics in Arabic linguistics (of all subfields,
including applied linguistics) and Arabic literature (both classical and
modern) will gladly be considered, in either English or Arabic (with the
request that an English summary be prepared for any papers to be presented
in Arabic). In addition to original research, we also encourage state of
the field papers that provide a focused overview of specific subfields of
Arabic studies and propose new avenues of research in that 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.

Unfortunately, this year we will not be able to accommodate virtual
presentations via video-chat.

Abstracts:

Applicants may submit abstracts of no more than a single, standardly
formatted page (not including references).

Abstracts may be submitted online at:
http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/jiljadid2014.

The deadline for abstracts is November 15, 2013. Abstracts should not
include identifying information; you must, however, indicate the highest
degree you have obtained and your current position (e.g. 'M.A., Graduate
Student,' 'Ph.D., Assistant Professor,' etc.). Only submissions from
current or recent graduate students will be considered.
