This event, which will take place on October 4th, 2024, is interdisciplinary, interregional and transhistorical. A main aim is to break down disciplinary and regional boundaries. All students and scholars with an interest in the greater Middle East and related regions (from Andalusia to Central Asia) are encouraged to attend. In particular we would like to welcome, in addition to those working with the languages of the Middle East, also those who work on e.g. medieval European language texts and objects that relate to the Middle East.
In 2024, the roundtable theme will be “The Societal Impact of Studying and Teaching the Medieval Middle East.” Please let us know if you would be interested in participating or nominating one of your colleagues for this roundtable!
