This course accompanies the “Middle East Lecture Series” (MELS) that is held at the Department of Middle East
Studies. The lectures that are given in the series are from prominent academics in the field, who engage with the
history, culture, and politics of the Middle East from a variety of disciplines (e.g. history, political science, social
anthropology, etc.). Follow-up seminars then develop the themes introduced by the lectures in depth. Students will
thus get a chance to actively engage with some of the current debates in the interdisciplinary field of Middle
Eastern studies by discussing both with the MELS speakers after their lecture and with their fellow students during
follow-up seminars. The course will also provide opportunity for students to develop their critical listening and
presentation skills. The working language of the course as well as the MELS is English.
