The following are networks of interest to Middle East studies, affiliated to H-NET<\/a><\/strong> whose aims are to enable scholars to communicate current research and teaching interests easily; to discuss new approaches, methods and tools of analysis; to share information on electronic databases; and to test new ideas and share comments on the literature in their fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H-AMCA<\/a><\/strong> is a moderated e-mail list devoted to the study of modern and contemporary art from the Arab world, Iran, and Turkey. We aim to foster an academic community for the field by creating a network of interested scholars and organizations; enabling historians and other scholars to easily communicate current research and teaching interests; and promoting scholarly cooperation among both persons and organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H-Levant<\/a><\/strong> is a moderated e-mail list for those interested in the scholarly discussion of the modern history and culture of the countries of the Eastern Mediterranean. Called \u201cthe Levant\u201d in English and \u201cal-mashriq\u201d in Arabic, the region today includes Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, the Palestinian territories, Jordan and parts of Turkey. While most of the inhabitants are Arabic-speaking Muslims, there are significant populations of Jews and Christians. And although the peoples of the region are diverse, they possess a
shared history stretching back millenia. H-Levant welcomes research queries, book reviews, calls for academic conferences and papers, and announcements of interest to its subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H-ISLAMART<\/a><\/strong> is sponsored by the Historians of Islamic Art Association [HIAA], an international professional organization for the study of Islamic art. The mission of HIAA is to promote high standards of scholarship and instruction in the history of Islamic art; to facilitate communication among HIAA members through the association\u2019s website, listserve, meetings, and other programs; and to promote scholarly cooperation among persons and organizations interested in and involved with the study of Islamic art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H-MEDITERRANEAN<\/a><\/strong>: The aim of this network is to provide researchers with information about publications and congresses regarding the mediterranean area in modern and contemporary history. We strive to be a discussion space for researchers coming from different research fields. Instead of only promoting discussions about each single country, or only discussing the concept of mediterranean history, the aim is to facilitate circulation and confrontation of ideas, methods, and theories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H-MidEast-Medieval<\/a><\/strong> is a discussion network for scholars and others interested in the study of the Islamic lands of the Middle East during the medieval period (defined roughly as 500-1500 C.E.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H-Mideast-Politics<\/a><\/strong> is an academic discussion forum where substantive information and analysis can be presented of Middle East current affairs and of its relevance to the foreign policy of states outside the region. The list takes the entire area from Morocco to Malaysia and from Kazakhstan to Somalia as its purview. The emphasis is on contemporary politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H-Gender-MidEast<\/a><\/strong> is an international electronic network for social scientists and humanists interested in scholarly exchange on issues of gender in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia. It aims to build a network in tune with shifting geographical articulations and to bring together gender-focused issues from within a wide range of (inter) disciplinary positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
