Call for papers: Modern Iraq convening

See full announcement here (Arabic and English).

Submit proposals by 31 March 2026. Proposal details are in the announcement PDF.

We are calling for proposals to participate in a Modern Iraq Convening, a workshop for junior scholars that will take place online and in Arabic.

The event is limited to early to mid-career scholars from Iraq who are currently working on their doctoral dissertations or have finished their degrees no longer than 10 years ago in a humanities or social sciences discipline. Presented work must be based on original research in or about Iraq since the 19th century. The event will be open to an international audience. Our objective is to establish an international community of researchers focusing on Iraq in a multi- and cross-disciplinary fashion, in order to foster exchanges, encourage collaboration, and expand academic networking in the field.

This convening is part of a series of annual meetings/events, either online or in-person, and for the establishment of an online platform on Iraqi Studies in dialogue with other Iraq-focused academic networks.

If you’d like to take part in the event as a contributor, please follow the directions in the attachment. Proposals should not be sent to TARII.
