Preface Shortly after 9/11, a Russian scientist named Dmitri Gusev pro- posed an explanation for the origin of the name Al Qaeda. He suggested that the terrorist organization took its name from Isaac Asimov’s famous 1950s science fiction novels known as the Foun- dation Trilogy. After all, he reasoned, the Arabic word “qaeda” means something like “base” or “foundation.” And the first novel in Asimov’s trilogy, Foundation, apparently was titled “al-Qaida” in an Arabic translation.

    Annual Report 2014-2015 Inside Cover

    COVER ANNUAL REPORT 2014-2015 INSIDE COVER TABLE OF CONTENTS LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR 3 ABOUT US 4 STAFF 6 RESEARCH 10 PROGRAMMING 14 FACULTY 20 COURSES 22 STUDENTS 25 LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR DEAR COLLEAGUES AND FRIENDS, Since 2012, Middle East Studies has been growing at a robust pace as it transitions from an undergraduate concentration into an endowed center with a reputation for innovative research, engaged programming, and rigorous learning. I am happy to report that the 2014–2015 academic year was pivotal for institutionalizing Middle East Studies at Brown on all three fronts. President Paxson has recognized this growth through a commitment to financially secure this program over the next five years. Middle East Studies is a thriving academic field, and peer universities have been busy strengthening their departments and centers. In this competitive environ- ment, it is significant that Middle East Studies at Brown is seen as a rising star. In large measure, this is due to our unique profile of thematically structured research and public engagement. Building on the passions of the faculty and the interests of the students, Middle East Studies organizes its activities around four themes that bridge the humanities and social sciences: Displacement and Partition, Islam- ic Humanities, Arts and Social Change, and Political Economy of Development. Highlights this year include the Iranian Underground Music Festival, which filled the RISD auditorium, and our Critical Conversations on Palestine-Israel, which fea- tured Hanan Ashrawi and Stephen Robert. Our growing reputation is also due to our pioneering annual symposia, such as New Directions in Palestinian Studies, Digital Islamic Humanities, and Engaged Scholarship, through which we explore new lines of academic inquiry, intervene in important public debates, and promote understanding.
