The Finnish Institute in the Middle East invites you to submit abstracts for a workshop to be convened under the theme, The Middle East and the Making of Global Anti-Imperialism: Histories of the Twentieth Century. The workshop is scheduled to take place in Beirut on December 5-6, 2025. The workshop aims to bring together scholars working on the intersections of the histories of the modern Middle East, anti-imperialism, and internationalism in the 20th century. The participants are expected to present full-length pre-circulated papers to be considered for a journal special issue edited by the conveners.
Please submit a 400-word abstract with a short bio to lotta.huotari@dont-want-spam.fime.fi by October 17.
There is limited financial assistance to cover travel and accommodation expenses for participants who are not based in Beirut. Please indicate in your application whether you will be needing financial assistance to attend. We might consider online presentations for those unable to travel/attend in person.
