I have received several queries about whether the Pearson Memorial
Lectures are published or not.
MELCOM (UK) secured an agreement with the editor of the British Journal of
Middle Eastern Studies that all Pearson Lectures would be considered for
publication in the BJMES. I must stress that eventual publication is
dependent on agreement between the editor and the lecturer and is not a
matter of course, nor a decision to be made by MELCOM (UK).
To date only the first lecture by me has been published (in BJMES, vol. 28
(1), 2001, p. 5-24), and I do not have any information about whether the
other lectures by Derek Hopwood, Geoffrey Roper and John McIlwaine will
see the light of day. I will investigate, however, and publish the
information on lis-middle-east.
