The Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies is receiving research proposals to participate in the Ninth Annual Historical Studies Conference 2022, titled “A Re-reading of the Algerian Revolution at its 60th Anniversary,” to be held 28-29 May 2022.

Since its victory 60 years ago, the Algerian revolution has begun to disappear in Arab debates, especially within historical studies, where it appears to be confined to the annals of history. Yet the event remains one of the greatest moments of pride in modern Arab history and the reverberations of the revolution continue to raise questions in light of the current conditions in Algeria and the Arab world.

With this in mind, the ACRPS is inviting prospective participants to submit research proposals to history.conference2022@dohainstitute.org according to the following requirements:

• The conference committee will receive research proposals (approx. 700 words), accompanied by an academic CV, in Arabic or English, no later than 1 December 2021, provided that they include: the research question(s), a basic hypothesis, the methodological and theoretical frameworks, and approaches/results, with a list of references. The research should relate to the topics listed in the attached background paper.
• The research proposal is subject to internal selection process, and the researcher is informed the decision to accept, decline or request amendments, within two weeks of sending the proposal.
• The conference committee’s approval of the research proposal is not an approval of the entire research paper to be included in the conference.
• Researchers whose proposals were approved by the conference committee should send their complete papers (6000-9000 words), according to ACRPS guidelines no later than 15 March 2022, to be subject to peer-review. The research should be authentic and unpublished, either in whole or in part on any other platform.
• A specialized organising committee will review the research, and the committee is obligated to inform the researcher, or researcher, of the decision to approve, decline or request any amendment to the paper no later than 30 April 2022.

Any enquiries can be sent to: history.conference2022@dohainstitute.org.
