Call for papers: Centre for Palestine Studies 9th Annual Graduate Student Research Seminar

We are pleased to share with you the call for papers for the annual Centre for Palestine Studies research seminar to be held at SOAS University of London and online on Thursday 15 and Friday 16 June 2023.

This 2-day research seminar provides a critical platform for PhD students working on Palestine or Palestine-related issues to present their projects and discuss theoretical and research questions. We welcome a broad range of topics aiming at an inter-disciplinary dialogue across Palestine Studies. This is a unique opportunity to present PhD or Postdoctoral research in a supportive environment and receive feedback from others engaged in the field.

If you are interested in presenting, please submit an abstract of approximately 300 words along with a brief bio to Dr. Loreley Hahn-Herrera (email lh29@soas.ac.uk) by 30 January 2023.  The seminar will take place in-person on Thursday 15 June and online on Friday 16 June. Please specify in which way you wish to attend the seminar in your email.

Panels will be organised around themes that emerge from the papers and will be assigned with a discussant to respond to the papers. The final list of speakers and discussants will be announced on 25 February 2023.

The Centre for Palestine Studies (CPS) at SOAS University of London was established in 2012 under the umbrella of the SOAS Middle East Institute (previously known as the London Middle East Institute).
