Join us this year at the upcoming Sixth Annual Conference of the Association for the Study of the Middle East and Africa (ASMEA). Appropriately titled Tides of Change: Looking Back and Forging Ahead in the Middle East & Africa, the conference will take place in Washington, D.C. on November 21-23, 2013.

As in years past, the conference is an excellent opportunity for scholars and students to hear from leading thinkers on critical issues affecting the regions. The keynote address will be given by Michael Young, the opinion editor at the Daily Star newspaper in Beirut, and H.E. Mohamed Bin Abdulla Al-Rumaihi, Ambassador of the State of Qatar, has been invited to deliver remarks at the opening reception. In addition, more than 100 papers will be presented on scholarly topics from Middle Eastern and African studies, and related disciplines. The conference line-up will also include policy round tables on "Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Region, and Beyond," "Great Power Involvement in the Arab Upheavals," and "Revolution, Revolt, and Reform in North Africa" as well as film screenings, book displays of the latest academic titles, and much more.
