presentation of original scholarship, and through its quarterly publication,
THE ASSOCIATION FOR MIDDLE EAST WOMEN'S STUDIES REVIEW critiques the literature
in the field , reviews films, provides a forum for the discussion of current
issues, communicates events, jobs, and fellowship opportunities, puts scholars
in touch with each other, and recognizes the accomplishments of its members.
