Welcome!
The Middle East Studies Student Initiative is a board of students dedicated towards the development of an inter-disciplinary Middle East Studies Program at the University of California, Irvine. With the support of our faculty, administration, and students we hope to develop a comprehensive curriculum and academic forum in order to engage in dialogue regarding the political, economic and social issues of the region.
A Middle East Studies Program at UC Irvine will: Foster an environment conducive to the production of constructive dialogue on the Middle East; Provide a forum whereby scholars and prominent members of the community collaborate in promoting an academic understanding of the Middle East; Enhance awareness of and respect for diversity within the community; Facilitate broader cultural understanding among students and community members with distinctive backgrounds from the Middle East and between those and others without generational connections to the region; Provide a strong educational foundation for future generations within the community to engage in in-depth academic understanding of the region; Provide an academic understanding of the dynamic processes in which religion plays in shaping politics, society and culture.
