About ASI-REM
The Arab Studies Institute – Research and Education Methodologies (ASI-REM) is an independent, non-profit research and pedagogical organization based in Beirut, Lebanon. It seeks to promote the production and dissemination of knowledge in and about the Middle East based on an extensive network of expertise spanning the Middle East, MENA, Europe, and the United States. The breadth and depth of its resources allows ASI-REM to be on the cutting edge of pedagogical projects.
ASI-REM's core strength is its ability to mobilize extensive networks of expertise active in multiple fields and disciplines spanning the Middle East, Europe and North America. The range and scope of its networks place ASI-REM in a unique position to execute a broad range of projects relevant to knowledge production on the Middle East. ASI-REM has the capacity to manage and implement such projects independently, as consortium leader or as a partner organization.
As the Middle East experiences a prolonged period of upheaval of unprecedented intensity, and confronts multiple crises at multiple levels that increasingly pose questions of an existential nature for the states and societies of the region, the need for knowledge production from and about the Middle East has never been greater.
Within the region, scholars, practitioners, researcher, artists, and activists, particularly those who operate independently of ruling elites and reigning orthodoxies, would greatly benefit from increased opportunities to disseminate and advocate their perspectives. Similarly, the expansion of fora in which such individuals and communities can exchange knowledge, expertise and experience will serve not only participants, but indirectly also their respective constituencies and the broader public.
