Workshop Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

The study of the politics of infrastructure in the Middle East and North Africa continues to gain interest among scholars with different interdisciplinary backgrounds. Roads, trains, ports, and communication networks facilitate the connection of people, societies, and spaces not only within the region but also with other parts of the globe. A growing body of research explores the political character of these fixtures, examining how they shape people\u2019s life, societal, economic, and urban development, and political dynamics. This workshop is part of a broader project on politics of infrastructure that includes a monthly seminar series. You can join the sessions by visiting this\u00a0webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We welcome essays and research about infrastructure and war; urban infrastructure and the ecology; digital and virtual infrastructure; energy infrastructure; transportation and logistics infrastructure. But other related and relevant topics are also encouraged.<\/p>\n

The organizers will cover the cost of participation (including flights and lodging). 10 days prior to the workshop, the participants must submit 3,000-4,000-word papers in English. A synthesis of the papers will be published in an open access research report in English and Arabic after the workshop.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
