Meeting Description:

New Generations covers issues of language and culture relating to the study of
the Middle East, North Africa, and the Islamic world broadly. The conference
aims to provide a forum for young scholars spread across a variety of
disciplines and fields to come together, share ideas and research, and discuss
the future of research on the MENA region and Islamic Studies.  The aim of
this breadth of scope is to facilitate a valuable interdisciplinary exchange
of new ideas. 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 and religions.


Call for Papers:

Topics:
The aim of this conference is to foster connections between the newest
generation of scholars in Middle East/North Africa Studies and Islamic Studies
in order to produce an interdisciplinary and holistic understanding of the
MENA region and the broader Islamic world.  To that end, all papers treating
topics in literatures, cultures, languages, and religions of the MENA region
from any time period 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.

Abstracts:
Applicants may submit abstracts of no more than a single-spaced page with
12-pt font and 1-inch margins in Times New Roman, including all references.
Abstracts longer than one page will not be considered. 

Abstracts may be submitted online at https://www.jil-jadid.org. 

The deadline for abstracts is Friday, January 10. Abstracts should not include
identifying information on the abstract itself (i.e. no first or last name in
the header). You must, however, indicate the 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:
New Generations 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
New Generations conference. Lodging with local graduate students will be made
available when possible.
