Dear Professor Eugene Morgan

 

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to meet with you about my short research assignment: “ the British government support for Middle Eastern and Islamic studies since 1947” As agreed I am enclosing herewith I am enclosing some questions to help me with my research.

First: The esteemed St. Antony Centre for Middle Eastern studies established more than fifty years ago had had relations with the British Government how would you describe these relations?

Second: Has the Centre approached the British Government for support to embark on any academic project? If yes, what these projects and what type of support did the Centre receive?

Third: What impact did in your views had the Hayter and Parker’s reports have on the Centre’s activities and projects.

Fourth: The Centre has an ambitious agenda in the field of Middle Eastern Studies, was the Centre involved in any of the new government projects particularly after Islam was designated a strategic topic?

Fourth: How do you see the future of the relationship between the Centre and the different government’s agencies?

Fifth: How do you see the support of the British government to the field of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies in the last ten years?
