The IWS is the Arab Center’s flagship annual academic gathering, a space where advanced PhD candidates and early career scholars engage directly with prominent regional and international academics through research presentations, lectures, and workshops. Past editions have brought together scholars from across five continents to tackle the most pressing questions in the social sciences and humanities.
This year’s edition focuses on questions of migration, citizenship, belonging, and exclusion in a time of rising nativism, with particular attention to both broader political structures and the lived experiences of migrant and displaced communities.
