58th Annual Meeting of the Middle Eastern Studies Association, virtual, November 11–16, 2024

The Middle East Studies Association of North America invites and encourages submissions for its 58th Annual Meeting to be held virtually in the fall of 2024. Submissions by students are more than welcome.

MESA is primarily concerned with the area encompassing Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, Israel, Pakistan, and the countries of the Arab world (and their diasporas) 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. The 2024 meeting does not have a theme.

Submissions may be in the form of pre-organized panels, pre-organized roundtables, or individual papers (to be formed into panels by the program committee).

Membership is required to submit a proposal.
