The Association for Middle East Women's Studies

The Association for Middle East Women's Studies is an affiliated organization of the Middle East Studies Association of North America, Inc. AMEWS was founded over ten years ago by scholars interested in promoting quality research in the field of Middle East women's studies. To this end, AMEWS organizes conference panels for the 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. Membership in AMEWS is open to anyone with an interest in Middle East women's studies.
Information on how to join AMEWS and to receive the AMEWS REVIEW is included at the end of this Web site.
