Panels looking for papers or papers looking for panels

The following page has been created to help people organize panels or roundtables dealing with the countries of the Arabian Peninsula, inclusive of the transnational flow of people, material and ideas across the Gulf, Red Sea and Indian Ocean to be submitted (primarily) for MESA conferences. If your paper/panel is outside of that geographical purview, we recommend using the MESA form instead: https://mesana.org/annual-meeting/call-for-participation

If you are interested in organizing panels for other Middle East Studies conferences, please indicate the name of the conference in the session description below.

Once completed, AGAPS will review the content to ensure its fit and then post the details on this page below the form. Interested parties should contact the organizers/presenters directly using the email they provided.

Please note that this is simply a service to help people find one another and does not constitute a submission to MESA or any other conference. All submissions for the conference must be made on the conference website itself.
