Middle East Studies Program


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: >College of Liberal Arts

Given the Middle East’s historic geostrategic position as a crossroads for states and empires, networks of trade and intellectual discourse, we define it beyond traditional geographic parameters, which tend to focus on the Arab world, North Africa, Iran and Turkey. The concentration approaches the study of the Middle East of the 21st century as a global phenomenon, one that has generated diasporic communities throughout the world as well as transnational Islamic and other religion-based movements. The Middle East is integral to the making of global socio-economic networks, political discourses and the histories of colonialism and empire. As an interdisciplinary program, Middle East Studies integrates diverse methodological approaches drawn from a variety of disciplines.
