The Middle East Studies Association calls for proposals
for preorganized panels, roundtables, thematic conversations,
and individual papers for the association's 43rd annual

MESA is primarily concerned with the area encompassing
Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, Israel, Pakistan, and
the
countries of the Arab World from the seventh century
to modern times. Other regions, including Spain,
Southeastern
Europe, China and the former Soviet Union, also
are included for the periods in which their territories
were parts of the Middle Eastern empires or were
under
the influence of Middle Eastern civilization. Comparative
work is encouraged.
