Inside-Out: Shifting Perceptions of the Middle East
We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the 2011 BRISMES postgraduate conference which will be hosted at the University of Manchester in January 2011. The theme of this year’s conference is ‘Inside-Out: Shifting Perceptions of the Middle East.’
Issues of ‘self’ and ‘other’ have long been a source of tension and cohesion in the region. The title seeks to uncover both preconceived and shifting perceptions of the Middle East from two different angles: the perspective of research in the field from without, but also the level of discourses from within the region itself. The theme has been chosen with the aim to stimulate debate amongst postgraduate students not only based in the UK, but worldwide, and in the region itself in particular. Applications are welcome from a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines whose research is related to the Middle East. Titles and abstracts of 250 words for 20-minute papers, with a short biographical statement, contact details and affiliation should be sent by Tuesday 16th November 2010 to:
