The Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the Mamdouha S. Bobst Center for Peace and Justice at Princeton University are pleased to announce the continuation of their ongoing joint Bobst-AUB Collaborative Initiative. With the generous support of the Bobst Foundation, the initiative is born out of the wishes of philanthropist Mamdouha S. Bobst (AUB '47) to promote scholarship on the Middle East that advances the cause of peace, mutual understanding, and justice. This unique collaboration seeks to leverage the intellectual capital and mutual interests of both institutions in order to raise awareness about the politics of transformation in the Middle East and North Africa. The partnership takes on multiple forms, including research support, faculty development, faculty exchanges, visiting professorships, joint workshops and conferences.
