CFP: Arab Culture in the U.S. (Feb 24-28, 2009)

[hichem hicham]

Dear Dr Hussein,
I find the topic suggested in this conference pretty outstanding.
I would like to take part in the happenings of the seminar, but feel discouraged by the distance. I have two questions: is there a scheme for financial assitance for overseas participants? Second is there a tele-visio-conference device for overseas contibutors?
Regards
Dr Hichem SOUHALI
Batna University, Algeria.
