We're Off to an Active Start This Year at the Middle East Studies Center



Welcome to the September 2025 Issue of the Middle East Studies Center (MESC) newsletter! We've enjoyed speaking to members of our community at the events we've hosted already this Fall semester and hearing about your summer travels, projects, and experiences in and about the Middle East. The rest of the semester is loaded with many interesting events and we would love to see both returning members and new members at events on topics ranging from foodways of the Middle East, to civil discourse, to ethnic diversity of the region. This autumn, Ohio State's Middle East Studies curriculum offers a diverse range of interdisciplinary courses—including history, religion, language, culture, and society—spanning Islamic Studies, Jewish Studies, Near Eastern and South Asian Languages and Cultures, and South Asian Studies, with topics from ancient empires and sacred texts to contemporary politics, diaspora, media, and identity. As you can see, there is a subject for everyone interested in the Middle East at Ohio State University.

Recent Events and Announcements


Ohio State Training Prepares U.S. Military Officials for Middle East Deployments

The Ohio State University recently hosted a specialized training program to prepare U.S. military civil affairs personnel for upcoming deployments in the Middle East. Organized in partnership with the Fisher College of Business' Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER), the virtual seminar brought together a diverse array of experts, including retired military officers, a former U.S. Department of State ambassador, and international scholars.


The training focused on equipping participants with cultural, political, and social knowledge essential for effective engagement in the region. Sessions addressed tribal customs, political dynamics, religious traditions, and strategies for avoiding cultural misunderstandings in complex field environments. By emphasizing intercultural awareness and practiccal applications, the program aimed to help U.S. civil affairs professionals build trust with local communities, strengthen civilian-military relations, and operate more effectively during deployment. This collaborative effort highlights Ohio State's commitment to applying academic expertise to global challenges while supporting those who serve.

Global Teacher Seminar

The Global Teacher Seminar, held June 9-12, 2025, brought together K-12 and pre-service educators for a week of globally focused training. On June 12, the Middle East Studies Center hosted a virtual session with Professor Sania ElHusseini, Professor of Political Science and International Relations at the Arab American University in Palestine, who joined live from Ramallah. Her talk, 'Competing Narratives in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict,' traced the conflict's historical development, beginning with the British Mandate and partition plans, and examined how milestones such as the 1948 Nakba, the 1967 war, and the Oslo Accords have been remembered and framed differently in Israeli and Palestinian contexts. She underscored how narratives about land, displacement, and identity remain deeply contested, shaping both policy and public consciousness.


In addition to thought-provoking discussions, the seminar equipped participants with hands-on resources to strengthen their teaching. Professor ElHusseini and the Middle East Studies Center shared materials and teaching resources with the educators focused on current events and tools for classroom dialogue. Eighteen participants in this week-long seminar left with tools not only to inform students about the history of the conflict, but also to cultivate skills for navigating competing narratives in global issues more broadly. Educators earned Continuing Education Units (CEUs), received resource guides and curriculum materials, and were awarded stipends for creating new lesson plans based on the training.

Near Eastern Languages and Cultures: "From Citizens to Loyal Subjects?"

In late August, the Near Eastern and South Asian Languages and Cultures Department hosted an engaging online lecture, "From Citizens to Loyal Subjects? Nationalism and Belonging in Post-Republican Turkey," presented by Dr. Serhun Al. The talk focused on the ways Turkish identity has been reshaped under President Erdogan's leadership since the early 2000s.


Dr. Al explained how the government has increasingly emphasized Muslim nationalism and Ottoman heritage as the basis for belonging, moving away from the earlier secular, Republican model established in teh 20th century. This change has sparked debate in Turkey and beyone, as it appears to strengthen ties for some groups while creating distance and exclusion for others, particularly Kurdish communities and religious minorities. The lecture examined both the appeal and the risks of this "native and national" framework, asking whether it can open space for wider inclusion or whether it deepens authoritarian control. The audience was invited to consider how political narratives shape cultural identity and what that means for nationalism in Turkey today.


Dr. Al, a professor at Izmir University, and OSU's Dr. Nathan Young are collaborating on a project that brings their students together in a collaborative online environment shared by both of their classes. The Middle East Studies Center supports the development<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/osu.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8aad9a415882af05c91822d20&id=50049c41a2&e=6b437f4be7__;!!KGKeukY!x--Zkm1Af8a2IAqht3221WYa_hujOK4KE0l99XV_sEgUXsm9ggNbYrRKc7NervxeWLu1Lwj7VQ07pwIxh5GL_TMR$> of this work, and we are currently supporting the development of an additional collaborative online international learning (COIL) course that will connect our students to students in Turkey. Stay tuned for updates!

Breakfast & Networking at Crane Cafe

The Middle East Studies Center recently hosted its Breakfast & Networking event at Crane Cafe in Hagerty Hall. The gathering brought together faculty members, graduate students, advanced undergraduates, and friends of Middle East Studies for a morning of food, conversation, and collaboration. Attendees enjoyed fresh pastries, including simit — a sesame bread traditional in Turkiye (Turkey) and Egypt— while catching up after the summer and sharing their latest research and projects. The event created a welcoming atmosphere where students could connect with faculty outside of the classroom, faculty could exchange ideas across disciplines, and new members of the MESC community could feel at home. It also reinforced the Center's commitment to providing informal, inclusive spaces where scholarship and personal connections can grow side by side. The combination of programming like Dr. Al's lecture with relaxed community events supports both critical engagement with pressing global issues and the cultivation of a strong, supportive academic network at Ohio State.

Ongoing Projects


Seeds of Middle Eastern Culture

As mentioned in previous issues of the MESC newsletter, Seeds of Middle Eastern Culture<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/osu.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8aad9a415882af05c91822d20&id=6cc38c53bb&e=6b437f4be7__;!!KGKeukY!x--Zkm1Af8a2IAqht3221WYa_hujOK4KE0l99XV_sEgUXsm9ggNbYrRKc7NervxeWLu1Lwj7VQ07pwIxhyb2nGLE$> is our food sovereignty project that connects Middle Eastern culinary traditions with the local Columbus community. Food sovereignty is the idea that people should have access to healthy, culturally meaningful food and a voice in how their food systems are shaped. Through this project, we highlight the importance of Middle Eastern plants and foodways, while also supporting local, sustainable farming anid cultural exchange here in Ohio.


This summer, the project focused on developing youth engagement, giving young people hands-on experiences that connect farming, cultural heritage, and community action. By using Middle Eastern food traditiosn as an entry point, we aim to inspire youth to support local food systems, appreciate cultural diversity, and carry forward traditional knowledge.


Seeds of Middle Eastern Culture is built on strong partnerships. We are working with All THAT - Teens Hopeful About Tomorrow to connect Columbus youth with Middle Eastern foodways, and with the Vincent Walters Urban Farm in the Bronzeville neighborhood, led by educator and farmer Jodi Spencer, to explore culturally rooted farming practices. Our partner Third Floor Design is playing an important role in the project by guiding our community-building efforts with innovative collaboration methods.


We are also happy to announce that our partnership with the All THAT youth program was officially launched on August 25 with the start of the kids' school year. National leader in food sovereignty, Brandy Phipps, of Central Staet University, spoke with kids in the Culinary Track about Global and Cultural Nutrition on September 4. We are excited to bring you more updates on this project as it continues to grow throughout the academic year.


We are grateful to our co-sponsors, especially the  Office of Outreach and Engagement at Ohio State, for supporting impact documentation, as well as the Melton Center for Jewish Studies, the Department of Anthropology, the Department of History, the Department of Comparative Studies, and the Department of Near Eastern and South Asian Languages and Cultures for bringing in guest speakers and strengthening our outreach. Seeds of Middle Eastern Culture continues to grow—bringing people together through food, culture, and community action, and creating space for both plants and cultural connections to flourish.

MCRME Project Launch

On September 9, the Multi-ethnic Cultural Reproductions in the Middle East (MCRME) project was launched with "Talking about the Middle East Buckeye Community Event: An Openining Dialogue." Multi-ethnic Cultural Reproductions in the Middle East (MCRME) is a Global Arts and Humanities funded project presented in collaboration between the Melton Center for Jewish Studies, the Middle East Studies Center, and the Center for Ethics and Human Values. The project explores the meaning, possibility, and value of engaging in dialogue about Middle Eastern culture and experience.

Ancient Desert Monuments Reveal Climate Resilience in Southern Arabia

For over thirty years, Professor Joy McCorriston of Ohio State University has explored Southern Arabia's deserts - particularly Dhofar, Oman - revealing that ancient communities adapted to harsh environmental conditions not merely through farms or permanent villages, but by social means as well. Building monumental stone structures, McCorriston argues, as "technologies of resilience," helped pastoral societies maintain identity, social networks, and cultural continuity during climate fluctuations. The evolution of these monuments - from large Neolithic platforms to smaller Bronze Age tombs and accretive structures - reflects changing social relationships and strategies for survival.


In her work, McCorriston and her team have used satellite imagery and machine learning to map and analyze thousands of these stone monuments, thereby uncovering patterns of adaptation and resilience over millennia. Her findings draw parallels with similar stone-monument traditions in Turkiye's Tas Tepeler region and offer insights for contemporary climate and heritage challenges in arid regions.

Professor Sabra Webber Recounts "A Boatload of Horses": Alan Jabbour's Family Immigration Saga

Professor Sabra Webber, folklorist and professor emerita at The Ohio State University, has chronicled the remarkable immigration story of her late colleague and friend, Dr. Alan Jabbour, founding director of the American Folklore Center at the Library of Congress. In her article "A Boatload of Horses," Webber revisits Jabbour's family saga, beginning with his grandfather Abdullah Jabbour's 1893 voyage from an-Nakba, Syria, to the United States. Abdullah traveled with a "boatload" of prized Arabian horses bound for the Chicago World's Columbian Exposition, a journey that became both legend and legacy within the Jabbour family.


Webber highlights how Alan first shared this story in the 1970s, weaving folklore and family memory together. Initially remembered as a tale of loss - horses sicked at sea, leaving Abdullah penniless - the story gains new depth through archival discoveries. Research at the Khayrallah Center uncovered Abdullah's writings in the Arabic-language newspaper 'Kawkab Amirka', which reveal that most of the horses survived the transatlantic voyage, only to face tragedy in a fire at the fairgrounds. Among them were Nedjme and Obeyran, whose descendants became the first registered Arabian horses in America, sparking a legacy that endures to this day.


Blending oral history, folklore, and archival research, Webber's account illustrates how immigration sagas carry both mythic and historical dimensions. As she notes, these stories are not just about hardship or triumph but about the "performative" elements that shape family identity across generations. In telling the Jabbour story, Webber situates Arab-American immigration within a broader cultural narrative - one where memory, music, horses, and heritage all converge. You can read the full article here.
