Middle East majors core course

HIS 4930: History of modern Egypt

HIS 6934: Methodology of the Middle East colloquium: Literature of the field
BEL 404 Mon 6-9

Note to graduate students:
If you are considering doing a DIS or comprehensive exam field with me this year or next, please consult me sooner rather than later. I am on research leave in Fall 2009, and it is unlikely that I will be able to offer DIS or preparation for comprehensive exams during that term.
