SUMMARY:Workshop: Arabic TEI (Textual Encoding Initiative)\, April 2–3\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a two-day Arabic digital humanities workshop to learn TEI (Textual Encoding Initiative) mark-up of Arabic-script texts for critical digital editions. Hugh Cayless (TEI treasurer\, senior programmer Duke University Libraries) and Adam Mestyan (Professor of Middle Eastern Studies\, NELC) will teach the sessions. The workshop will feature an evening talk by Sabine Schmidtke (IAS Princeton) about the history of critical editions of Arabic manuscripts. \nThe workshop will take place on April 2-3 (Thu-Fri) 2026 in the Gibb Room in Widener Library. Students will need to bring their own laptops but will receive a free one-year license for the Oxygen XML editing software. \nLunch will be provided. Space is limited and priority will be given to Harvard students. Please only register if you can commit to the full two-day program by filling out the form in the link. \nThis workshop is generously supported by the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations\, the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Islamic Studies Program\, the Center for Middle Eastern Studies\, and the Program in Islamic Law at Harvard Law School. \n

SUMMARY:Workshop: Middle East Beyond Borders—Amadu Kunateh\, “Footnote to Ghazali: Philosophy Without Falsafa in West African Intellectual Archive\,” April 6\, 2026 @ 6:15pm
DESCRIPTION:Amadu Kunateh (CSR)\, “Footnote to Ghazali: Philosophy Without Falsafa in West African Intellectual Archive.” Nicholas Judt (CSR) will respond. \nWe will be meeting from 6:15-7:30pm in the Finnegan Room (Barker 403) and dinner will be provided. See event flyer for more info and to RSVP. \nThe Middle East Beyond Borders (MEBB) workshop aims to foster an interdisciplinary community of scholars working on the past and present of the Middle East. It takes as its founding premise the idea that the “Middle East” as an object of inquiry must fundamentally engage notions of boundaries\, mobility\, and transformation. Our goal is to offer a platform for collaboration and discussion to all Middle East scholars at Harvard across a wide range of academic fields and disciplines. To date\, our community has welcomed scholars from NELC\, History\, Middle Eastern Studies\, Anthropology\, the Study of Religion\, Law\, Art and Architecture\, and more. During meetings\, we typically workshop a polished dissertation chapter or prospectuses from graduate students.
