Friday-Saturday 17-18 June 2016;

This topical, international, interdisciplinary conference is in the historic centre of York. It is also
supported by the Post-War Reconstruction Unit at the University of York.
Apart from international big-name speakers, we expect displays, performances
and local contributions exploring York's and Yorkshire's links with the Middle East - yesterday,
today and tomorrow. Thus we shall be "breaking the barriers" between
local history, family history, and world history. Papers already offered include "Archaeological perspectives", the Hejaz railway, the view from the
other side (Germany, Bulgaria, Turkey etc.), maps and counter-maps, the impact
upon theatre and film, as well as items on Gertrude Bell, Mark Sykes of
Sledmere, T.E. Lawrence, Toynbee etc., all of whom have local links.
We welcome further suggestions and offerings!
Details: For the time being, please contact John Bibby, one of the co-organisers,
at jb43@york.ac.uk
