BRISMES

The British Society for Middle Eastern Studies (popularly known as BRISMES) was established in 1973 to encourage and promote the study of the Middle East in the United Kingdom. It brings together teachers, researchers, students, diplomats, journalists and others who deal professionally with the Middle East. Membership is open to all the above, regardless of nationality - indeed regardless of where in the world you are based.

What is BRISMES Graduate Conference?!

Established in 2005, the BRISMES Graduate Conference is the only Middle East event for graduate students committed to accepting papers from all disciplines. It is becoming an increasingly important venue where young scholars can meet, exchange diverse ideas and build a sense of a community of practice. The distinct role of the BRISMES Graduate Conference is to help develop this community of practice among those building a career specialising in the Middle East.
