The Middle East and Central Asia Music forum is open to researchers,
students and anyone interested in the music and culture of the region. In
the spirit of fostering dialogue and interdisciplinarity, we hope that the
issues discussed at the forum will be of interest to a broad audience,
including musicologists, ethnomusicologists and other researchers in the
arts, humanities and social sciences. In addition, we welcome those working
on other aspects of Middle Eastern and Central Asian culture broadly
speaking (dance, visual arts, media, film, literature, etc.). Since March
2007 the Forum has met twice a year. Details of each of the meetings are
contained in the archive. The convenor of the Forum is Laudan Nooshin (City
University, London, [log in to unmask]).
Advance booking is requested via [log in to unmask]; a contribution to costs of
£10 is requested on the door. Attendance for students and the unwaged is
free.
