SERMEISS is a professional organization for scholars and teachers of the Middle East and Muslim world, serving the area south of the Ohio River and east of the Mississippi. It meets twice each year, in the spring and fall. SERMEISS members represent the entire range of academic disciplines, and the atmosphere of the biannual meetings is that of a weekend academic retreat. There are no concurrent sessions scheduled, ensuring an audience of 40-80 for each presentation and facilitating continued discussion throughout the weekend. Members view the meetings as the ideal "testing ground" for research in progress and welcome input and suggestions from their colleagues. For membership inquiries, please consult the SERMEISS web site: http://academics.georgiasouthern.edu/sermeiss/about.htm
THE BODMAN AWARD Every year, SERMEISS offers a $250.00 award for the best original research paper by a graduate student. SERMEISS presents the award at the fall meeting following the presentation date. Graduate students are encouraged to submit proposals for both the Spring and the Fall meetings.
