MEICON Student Conference
About
The Middle East and Islamic Consortium of British Columbia (MEICON-BC) was founded in 2008 as a collaborative project of ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV, the University of Victoria, and the University of British Columbia with the participation of other British Columbian universities and colleges. Its purpose is to provide an organizational basis for communication and cooperation among all British Columbian academics interested in the study of the Middle East and Muslim societies and cultures. They host an annual student conference (typically held in March of each year), where students are invited to present their papers and receive feedback and support in a lively and nurturing environment.
Please visit our events page if you wish to be added to our mailing list in order to receive news about upcoming academic events related to Middle East and Islamic studies.
