Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Network (CRASSH, University of Cambridge)

This new research group provides a forum for scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds working on the Middle East and Mediterranean to discuss their research.

This is a region that has known longstanding exchanges across borders and seas, languages and religions, in literature and music, politics and science and our activities reflect this diversity of exchange. Our activities enable staff and graduate students from different faculties to meet and share research interests which cover many different aspects of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern societies.
