Middlebury and the Middle East
This project aims to explore the connection between the Middle East and Middlebury College by exploring two main lines of research. The first focuses on the history of Middle East relations and media coverage on campus, and second investigates the presence of Middle Eastern students on campus and their political and self-advocacy.
