The Middle East and North Africa is

more than what most expect of it, and more than what most study of it.

Yes, it’s Arabic, and politics, and history. But as importantly, it’s skilled trades and small businesses. It’s energy and the environment, education, and activism. It’s film and music, spoken and written word…

It’s what your creativity makes of it.

 

Whether you have worked with Amideast or in the region before, or it's your first time, we challenge you to engage inventively and creatively with this vibrant region of the world.

 
 
 
 

The Middle East and North Africa is a large and greatly diverse region that generates and circulates knowledge. This means that the MENA is a wonderful context for studying anything that we can study anywhere else in the world. This includes, but is certainly not limited to:

 
 

  • Sustainable and renewable energy

  • Agriculture

  • Art and design

  • Business and entrepreneurship

  • State power and policing

  • Gender studies

  • Public health

  • Health professions

  • Decolonization and social
    justice

  • Architecture

  • Culinary arts

  • Hospitality

  • Childcare

  • Computers and technology

  • Skilled trades, such as automotive,
    construction, cosmetology, electrical
    work, plumbing
