Another really interesting (and useful for teaching) issue of the @apsamena.bsky.social Newsletter... with special sections of the question of a "New Regional Order" in the Middle East and the legacies of the Biden Administration's policy towards the Middle East.

Check out @maydarwich.bsky.social's essay alongside others in our latest newsletter, covering whether and what shape the "new regional order" is taking, including a feature essay by Louise Fawcett and a very rich set of essays in the symposium.

In their introduction to the issue, the editors reflect on challenges ahead given ongoing attacks against free speech in academia, with Middle East studies at its centre. They also push us, however, to not lose sight of developments in the region. The contributions to the issue aim to do both.

Rabab El Mahdi's piece is, as usual, 🔥.

I've never liked the flattening, simplification, and depoliticization of 'local' or 'field' perspectives, even while appreciating that things do look very different in different contexts and with historical memory.

APSA MENA Politics Section @apsamena.bsky.social · Oct 22
This is a big one! We have two symposia, a book review roundtable, and a provocative and remarkable opening essay by Rabab El Mahdi that problematizes the framing of 'regional' or 'local' perspectives within Middle East political science. #menasky

And finally, as with all our newsletters, this one is also beautifully done with some cover art from an image drawn by students at Lebanon Unsettled Project at USEK in July 2022 and provided by Deen Sharp (who contributed an essay to the symposium on student encampments).

The second symposium reflects on university students’ Gaza Solidarity Encampments of spring 2024 & situates them within broader historical and contemporary student protests both within the MENA & in other regions.
