Call for Contributions: MEM Newsletter March 2026
In order to represent the whole MEMbership as fully as possible, we invite all MEMbers to contribute their news on a regular basis so as to facilitate and increase communication between colleagues and within fields. For the next newsletter issue, which will be published on 15 March 2026, please submit by 1 March 2026 any contribution you would like to share.
Contributions should respond to one or more of the relevant sections of the updated newsletter, which are as follows:
- Events (comprising upcoming conferences, seminars, summer schools, and the like)
- Publications (monographs, edited volumes, themed issues, editions, translations, and al-ʿUṣūr al-Wusṭā content)
- Online research output (comprising e.g. blogs, conference reports, resources (databases, digital tools), datasets, and websites)
- Projects and funding (e.g. successful larger funding applications (ERC, DFG, ANR, NEH, and so forth); new project groups)
- Dissertations (information on current and recently completed doctoral research, submitted by doctoral candidates or their supervisors)
MEM has set up a secure folder on Proton Drive to which you can directly upload your content, formatted as Word, PDF, or JPG. In this folder you will find a general ReadMe as well as guidelines within the sub-folders devoted to each individual section. We encourage you to include pictures whenever possible, such as new book covers or conference photos. The folder can be found here: https://drive.proton.me/urls/Y2GP5B9K88#gNDolIY5Gnce.
