The Center for Middle Eastern Studies (CMES) was established in 1954 for the purpose of supporting research and teaching in the languages, literatures, history, governments, economics, and cultures of North Africa, the Middle East, and Central and South Asia, with the emphasis on the modern period. At the core of its teaching and research is the pursuit of firsthand knowledge about the Middle East based on literacy in its languages and an understanding of its political and economic realities, its culture and traditions. To achieve these aims, the center cooperates with faculty having a Middle Eastern interest, with other regional studies centers, and with Harvard libraries and museums holding collections related to Middle Eastern and Islamic studies.
The center's aim is to offer a comprehensive program of training for those planning careers in education, government service, and in the private sector, as well as to support research on the area. More than 50 members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences are associated with the center; in addition, Middle East specialists are found in the Law School, the Business School, the Kennedy School of Government, the Divinity School, and the Graduate School of Design. The Center publishes a listing of courses relating to the Middle East each year, usually totaling over 200 undergraduate and graduate courses and seminars offered in the departments of Government, History of Art and Architecture, History, Anthropology, Religion, and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations.
