CONFERENCE : WOMEN AND GENDER STUDIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST- March 2021



The Association for Middle East Women’s Studies (AMEWS) is pleased to
invite submissions of abstracts for an international conference on gender
and women’s studies in the Middle East in the second week of March 2021 in
Beirut, Lebanon, in partnership with local universities (American
University of Beirut and Lebanese American University).  This is the first
AMEWS conference in the Middle East.  The conference engages scholars from
multiple locations in and outside of the region, on the cutting-edge topics
propelling research on gender and women’s studies in the Middle East  and
with populations in the diaspora. The call is open to the broad range of
topics on gender and women’s studies in the social sciences and
humanities: politics, economics, history, sexualities, culture, arts,
digital humanities and so forth. The abstracts will be reviewed and
thematically organized.  There may be invited speakers and sessions.  AMEWS
expects to be able to fund the travel, accommodations and catering for the
majority of the participants, with funding priority going to those residing
in the Middle East.  Several products are planned, including publications
and engagements with NGO’s and other local organizations committed to
gender issues.  For more information about AMEWS, see: http://amews.org/
