Introducing ASMEA

I recently spoke with an acquaintance who is involved with a new Middle East studies organization called ASMEA. They have an impressive group of scholars involved including Bernard Lewis and Fouad Ajami.

Here is a brief description of the organization:

Through its forthcoming annual conference, journal, newsletter, and new website, the Association hopes to become the professional association of choice for discerning scholars and interested members of the public, and will strive for excellence in all of its many pursuits. Please join us in creating a community that will serve as the bedrock for the next generation of scholars and teachers upon which our collective future depends.

Be sure to take a look at the ASMEA website for further information.
