SPME logo Our friends at Scholars for Peace in the Middle East are announcing fellowships to enable junior scholars to deliver papers at academic conferences. In addition to providing useful information on Israel and the Middle East, SPME has also historically been interested in campus anti-Semitism and academic freedom. These issues are, of course, central to our concerns at the Louis D. Brandeis Center as well. Details follow the jump. Scholars for Peace in the Middle East Fellowships Scholars for Peace in the Middle East (SPME) is pleased to announce small grant awards for papers to be delivered at academic conferences, with one purpose to help encourage young scholars to make scholarly contributions at the beginning of their academic careers. SPME is an organization dedicated to the non-politicized study of the Middle East and is interested in supporting high level academic work in the humanities and social sciences by scholars about to complete their doctorates or those currently teaching but without tenure. Applicants should submit: CV paper proposal the name and discipline of the conference where the paper will be delivered, and, if possible the theme of the panel or session which will incorporate the presentation. Material should be sent through the following form (spme.org/spme-fellowships/) Scholars for Peace in the Middle East, (SPME), is a grass-roots community of scholars who have united to promote honest fact based, and civil discourse, especially in regard to Middle East issues. We believe that ethnic, national, and religious hatreds, including anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism, have no place in our institutions, disciplines and communities. We employ academic means to address these issues For more information, contact Dr. Asaf Romirowsky at Aromirowsky@spme.org Officers Richard Cravatts, PhD, Simmons College, President, SPME John R.
