The workshop on Global Middle East aims to probe what globalization really means in today’s Middle East, and how it is reflected in movements, peoples, cultures, art forms, and networks. The aim is to show how groups, ideas, and practices that originated in the region are developing not in isolation, but in direct and complex connection with other cultural and socio- economic geographies.
