Global Middle East Studies invites you to their first Annual Symposium, a day of stimulating presentations and lively exchange that is critically oriented, historically attuned, and community-engaged. The symposium will highlight multi-disciplinary and emerging research, creative activities, and an interactive workshop led by UIC students, faculty, and guests. We look forward to coming together in a space of shared reflections and nourishment.

The event will culminate in an evening celebration of UIC's Global Middle East Studies Minor and launch the anthology Ask the Night for a Dream: Palestinian Writing from the Diaspora, with musician Rami Gabriel, and writers Layla Azmi GousheyJoel FarranZeina Rousan, and Sahar Mustafah.

The event is sponsored by the Arab American Cultural Center and the Institute for the Humanities.
