At this yearly meeting, the aim is for researchers on the premodern Islamicate world to meet and share recent research, work in progress, and contemplations on our fields, with a strong focus on making interdisciplinary connections between sometimes mutually isolated departments and fields in the study of history; language and literature; art, archaeology and material culture; Islamic studies and other Middle Eastern religious traditions; and across regional boundaries. The Annual Medieval Middle East Meeting is a yearly forum for students, junior researchers and senior scholars to present historical work-in-progress that is related to the medieval Middle East and Islamic world broadly defined to include North Africa, Central Asia, and the Mediterranean world (e.g. Andalusia). At the AMMEM, they present research in themed panels. The programme also includes a roundtable on a hot topic of relevance to all, related to teaching and/or research.
