Page 3 · MESA 2020 Welcome to MESA’s 54th Annual Meeting We meet this year under unique circumstances. We gather while apart in a virtual space, connecting with one another from distant places and across different time zones. While we shall miss the social spaces that allow us to catch up with colleagues and friends, I do hope that the spread of meetings and panels across twelve days and the virtual nature of the meeting will provide ample opportunities for our attendees to participate in stimulating intellectual exchange and draw a wider international community of scholars to our meeting.

I want to draw your attention to three sessions organized by the Board of Directors that Photo by Ziad Turki al-Jazzaa by Ziad Turki Photo might be of special interest to you. Speakers on the Presidential Panel will address the state of the academy and the field in the COVID-19 era; the Board’s Committee on Precarity Dina Rizk Khoury MESA President has organized a workshop to continue the conversation about the special concerns of Professor, George those members of our community whose professional prospects feel increasingly precari- Washington University ous; and a special session on Lebanon draws on the knowledge and experience of speakers in the country to discuss the post-August 4 situation.

I hope you have a productive and enjoyable time at our meeting.

General Information

The Middle East Studies Association (MESA) is a private, non-profit, learned society that brings together scholars, educators and those interested in the study of the region from all over the world. From its inception in 1966 with 51 founding members, MESA has increased its membership to over 2,700 and now serves as an umbrella organization for nearly forty institutional members and forty affiliated organizations. The association is a constituent society of the American Council of Learned Societies, the National Council of Area Studies Associations, and a member of the National Humanities Alliance.

As part of its goal to advance learning, facilitate communication and promote cooperation, MESA sponsors an annual meeting that is a leading international forum for scholarship, intellectual exchange and pedagogical innovation. It is responsible for the International Journal of Middle East Studies, the premiere journal on the region, the MESA Review of Middle East Studies and Issues in Middle East Studies, a biannual newsletter. An awards program recognizes scholarly achievement, service to the profession, undergraduate education, and exemplary student mentoring. MESA is governed by a nine-member Board of Directors elected by the membership.

This workshop introduces a project co-sponsored by the Middle East Institute at Columbia University, the Political Science Department of the American University of Cairo, the Rabat Social Studies Institute, and the Arab Council for the Social Sciences, examining the ethical implications of various approaches to research in the region. Among the issues that will be examined in the project are the role of uncredited research assistants, enumerators, “fixers” and other local aides; the use of intentionally ambiguous or misleading project descriptions or experimental conditions; the deployment of for-profit research firms; and the obligations researchers have to research subjects and communities under duress. The intent of the workshop is to introduce the project to the MESA membership at large and invite expressions of interest, particularly by social scientists, in the one or more of the workstreams being developed around these issues. Given the timing of this Annual Meeting, this workshop will devote special attention to challenges of conducting ethical research under the extraordinary restrictions on local and international travel, social interaction and personal mobility imposed by the global COVID-19 pandemic.

The MESA Global Academy is an interdisciplinary initiative sustaining essential research collaborations and knowledge production among MENA-focused scholars from the Middle East and North Africa and their counterparts outside the region. By awarding competitive scholarships to displaced scholars from the MENA region currently located in North America to attend meetings, workshops, and conferences, the project harnesses the strengths of MESA’s institutional and individual members to support the careers of individual researchers who study the Middle East and North Africa, but whose academic trajectory has been adversely affected by developments in their home countries. In this special session, 2020-2021 Global Academy scholars present their research and serve as discussants on two panels. Organizers: Asli Bali, UCLA; Beth Baron, CUNY; Mimi Kirk, MESA; Greta N.

Images and Archives: Digital Collections in the Time of Corona

The global impact of COVID-19 has forced all members of the Middle East Studies Association to reconfigure our lives in profound ways. With travel restrictions in place, and institutions transitioning to remote learning or operating at reduced capacity, connecting archival resources with researchers and educators is an acute challenge at this moment. This panel is here to help. Through four presentations, it offers a window into the dynamic digital archives and virtual exhibitions coming out of some of the top Middle Eastern photographic collections across the world. From newly digitized albums in historic collections, to the expansion and transformation of projects designed for digital platforms, to the creation of new crowd-sourced databases, this panel offers an archival tour de force for the socially distanced scholar. This panel will be useful for scholars with specialties across the region—from North Africa to Central Asia—and to educators looking for resources to use in distance-learning classrooms. Ranging from addressing the connections between colonialism and visual culture to new initiatives to make collections widely accessible and contextually framed in multiple languages, this panel will foster conversations about the past, present, and future of photographic visual culture of the Middle East.

Thinking Through Catastrophe: Perspectives and Lessons from Lebanon

The devastating explosion of August 4, 2020 rocked the Lebanese capital, destroying its historic port, the very port that had transformed Beirut from a coastal town of 6,000 people in 1800 to a bustling cosmopolitan city of 150,000 residents by 1914. The explosion devastated the city and its people: over 200 people died, at least seven remain missing, and over 6500 were injured. Hundreds of thousands of people were rendered homeless, thousands of homes destroyed beyond repair, and an estimated US$15 billion in property damage. The psychological impact is immeasurable, with most residents of Beirut still traumatized, including its children. This incident was the last straw of ongoing crises and catastrophe that included an escalating economic crisis and hyperinflation as well as the global pandemic, all fueled by the continued entrenchment of a political-sectarian leadership and violent state apparatus that has proven, time and again, to care only about their own financial well-being. What can these rolling catastrophes and the people of Lebanon teach us about survival and struggle? How have scholars, writers, and activists from different fields understood and responded to this context of multiple crises? We seek in this panel to center the labor, the intellect, and the contributions of people living and working in Lebanon. Panelists will speak from the perspectives of urban reconstruction, journalism, economic aid, creative writing, legal activism, and racial justice.

Page 59 · MESA 2020 Monday, October 12 2:00 pm Special Session Precarity Committee Convening

University educators in the United States are now seventy percent adjunct labor. The erosion of higher education as a public good has positioned academics in precarious positions often unable to secure basic needs such as living wages or health care. The neoliberalization of the university has been a process long in the making. Today, a global pandemic, an economic recession, and the escalation of right-wing attempts to curb academic freedom in the United States and beyond, suggest that this condition of precarity will only broaden and deepen. This session is an invitation to begin planning and working together to address these conditions both as an association and as colleagues

Responding to COVID-19 in the MENA Region: Insights on Education and Communication Challenges

The 2019 novel COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted education for nearly 1.6 billion learners across the world including 100 million learners in the Middle East and North Africa region. With the closure of schools and limited physical communal interaction, nations and its peoples are concerned about the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, which extends not only to learning losses, but also to limited equal access to services and resources. On the other hand, the current crisis has stimulated opportunities for innovation and transformation of human communication by offering alternative platforms for interaction and advocating for social justice and human rights utilizing technology. While many governments across the MENA region are thoroughly planning their educational scenarios for school re-opening and transitioning to blended or remote learning modes, it is equally important to critically reflect on the accelerating changes the crisis brought to modes of learning and social interaction to obtain a better understanding of the promising future of post-COVID learning. The current crisis has caused financing gaps, socio-political complexities, and lack of access to education. Building resilient educational systems that authentically respond to the current learning needs and interests of community members such as, risk management, cross-cultural communication skills, and equal access to learning support is core to sustain development and be well-prepared for the aftershocks of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, the research projects presented in this panel examine some of the current sociocultural and educational challenges and promising opportunities created by the COVID-19 pandemic. By doing so, the panel hopes to establish research that contributes to the region’s education emergency policing planning during and post the COVID-19 outbreak.
