The Middle East and Central Asia Music forum has been running since 2007 and 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.)
The Forum is convened by Dr Laudan Nooshin, City, University of London, ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>), and Dr Rachel Harris, SOAS, University of London, ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>).
