Proposals for panels on medieval Islamic history (600-1500) are invited. Middle East Medievalists intends to sponsor up to three panels at the Thirty-Ninth Annual International Congress on Medieval Studies, to be held on the campus of Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, MI on May 6-9, 2004. Panels may be on any subject in medieval Islamic History, but topics of interest to a wide variety of medieval historians are especially encouraged.

Respondents should supply name and organizational affiliation of organizer or presider, as well as of up to four presenters. The session must have a title, but it is not necessary to provide final paper titles at this time.

Acceptance of the panel as a MEM sponsored event depends on the agreement of the MEM Board and the organizers of the Congress.

Please note: The deadline for submission of session proposals is MAY 15, 2003, so time is VERY limited (in future years more lead time will be given).

Interested parties should contact Middle East Medievalists MEMber Professor Adam Sabra  at the address below as soon as possible.
