Visit center’s site

The Center for Middle East and Islamic Studies promotes understanding of the Middle East through teaching, research, and community outreach. Our center is distinguished by its cross-regional approach to Middle East studies, one that breaks down area studies barriers in order to track global flows of ideas, commodities, and people. CMEIS is part of the Duke-UNC Consortium for Middle East Studies, which includes the Duke University Middle East Studies Center.
