The South-South Forum (SSF) at Dartmouth College is organizing a fully funded, three-day works-in-progress workshop (Friday, October 4 through Sunday, October 6, 2024) for cross-regional comparative projects that focus on Latin America and the Middle East/North Africa. During these three days, pre-circulated book and dissertation chapters will be discussed in depth.
Please consider applying if you are currently working on a book or dissertation project on these two regions. SSF workshops emphasize non-hierarchical structures of knowledge exchange and ethical critique. They focus on providing constructive feedback and building an intellectual community. The workshop is open to scholars of all disciplines, however priority will be given to those working on literary and/or cultural studies projects.
Participants will be expected to submit chapter drafts for circulation by September 4th –a month before the workshop begins. Submissions should be about 8000-12000 words including footnotes/endnotes.
To apply, please email an abstract of about 300-400 words along with a CV by February 15th to eman.s.morsi@dartmouth.edu. Those selected to participate will be informed by March 15th. Participants’ travel expenses, hotel stay, and meals will be covered by the South-South Forum.
