CMENAS partners with CSEAS to launch their inaugural teacher program
The 2019-2020 MENA-SEA Teacher Program is an outreach program and a collaboration between the Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies (CMENAS) and the Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS).
The Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies enhances awareness of the peoples, cultures, and languages in the Middle East and North Africa. This vitally important region of the world constitutes a highly diverse cultural area now undergoing rapid and large-scale change.
