Maghrib Studies Initiative

April 11, 2025

The Maghrib Studies Initiative, a joint venture with CMES and the Center for African Studies, is an active effort to forge a network of faculty members and students who work on or have an interest in North Africa. It aims more generally to encourage the study of the Maghrib as a distinct geo-cultural space and its connections to other parts of the world. The initiative will be a venue for workshops, conferences, panels, public-facing exhibitions, film screenings, guest lectures and other meeting formats where we can have rich interdisciplinary conversations.
