BRISMES Conference: "Popular Movements in the Middle East and Islamic World, University College Dublin, Ireland, 24 - 26 June 2013.

The recent events have brought unprecedented change to the MENA region. They have reasserted a key feature of the region - the centrality of popular movements in engendering change. This conference focuses on the challenges posed both by the emergence of new popular movements and by the resurgence of traditional ones such as religious, tribal groupings and trade unions. The organisers welcome submissions focusing on change in all areas of public life, including politics and society, language, literature and the arts, and on the broader Muslim world.

Deadline for proposals and panels 18 January 2013. Further information http://www.brismes.ac.uk/events/92-brismes-annual-conference-2013
