Current Project We Support in Tunisia
Center for Middle Eastern Studies Tunisia Office
The Center for Middle Eastern Studies’ (CMES) Tunis office enables Harvard University faculty and students to pursue in-depth research and academic programming in the Middle East and North Africa.
Creating Opportunities for Immersive Cultural and Linguistic Studies
For more than six decades, CMES has educated hundreds of students through an interdisciplinary approach to research and teaching on Middle Eastern languages, politics, cultures, and histories. The office in Tunis enables CMES to advance its mission, meet a growing demand for experiential learning opportunities, and educate the next generation of scholars through direct engagement.
The office was made possible by a gift from an alumnus and provides CMES with an important physical presence in the region. Its local coordinator and staff work closely with the CMES faculty director and its executive director to guide its activities.
The office serves as a regional hub for:
- Educational programming, including summer and January-term study abroad
- Research programming, including faculty sabbaticals and local archival work
- Promoting scholarly exchange and diverse global perspectives
- Dissemination of research and knowledge
