The American Institute of Maghrib Studies is sponsoring its fifth annual Dissertation Workshop at the University of Chicago on April 21-22. The workshop offers a venue in which to discuss the current work of doctoral candidates engaged in research relating to North Africa.
Professors present talks on publishing, job market conditions, and other useful topics.
It also provides graduate students a chance to meet and to develop relationships with future colleagues in their field. The American Institute for Maghrib Studies is offering a special language and area studies program based in Tangier, Morocco. This intensive program comprises six weeks of language study and one week of travel in Morocco. The program will use the Al-Kitaab series supplemented with materials prepared or collected by faculty. The one-week cultural tour includes visits to Fez, Meknes, Marrakech, Casablanca, and Rabat.
