The Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies (ACRPS) will hold the fourth round of the Conference for Arab Graduate Students in Western Universities (AGSC), from 2-4 March 2024, in Doha, Qatar. This round will build on the success of previous rounds of the AGSC, which established an unprecedented academic tradition in the Arab region. The conference will provide Arab doctoral students and recent PhD graduates of the social sciences and humanities based at Western universities an open space to present papers based on their PhD theses and receive critical feedback. This unique conference will give the participants the chance to benefit from discussions with their peers and with established academics. Most importantly, the conference will give the participants an opportunity to better acquaint themselves with an Arab research agenda as well as to create collegial, professional networks within the Arab region.
