The overwhelming, positive feedback from this 'new generation' for Jīl Jadīd 2011 prompts us to assemble again in order to keep the conversation going. The purpose of this conference remains to bring together students spread across area studies, linguistics, comparative literature and other departments in order to facilitate a productive and interdisciplinary exchange of new ideas. The conference will feature keynote speakers on Arabic literature and linguistics, as well as a career development workshop offered by faculty from the UT Department of Middle Eastern Studies.
