The Humanities Research Fellowship for the Study of the Arab World program invites faculty and research fellows to join its monthly reading seminar as well as weekly writing group sessions.
Reading Seminar | 12-1:30pm in-person (NYUAD campus)
The monthly reading seminar invites HRF fellows and NYUAD faculty to discuss a shared set of readings that relate to 1) the framing, challenges, and affordances of area studies (the conceptualization of “Arab Crossroads” or even “Global Crossroads” Studies, in particular); 2) new research on the Arab Gulf; and 3) new works of broader significance.
This month, the reading seminar will take place over lunch and will include:
November 23 | Between Banat: Queer Arab Critique and Transnational Arab Archives (MB Shomali)
*All texts are available as e-books through the NYUAD Library.
Conveners: Erin Pettigrew and Nathalie Peutz
The reading seminar is open to the NYUAD community and by invitation. Registration has closed.
