This blog/website was started in the summer of 2009 in order to offer Middlebury students a “portal” onto the study of the Middle East at Middlebury, to online resources on the Middle East, and to give them an online venue to post current links of interest and to discuss all aspects of the study of the Middle East.  The site is currently administered by Professor Justin Stearns (jstearns@middlebury.edu).
