What is the governance of CMES?

The current governance of the CMES involves two committees:

The Executive Committee, chaired by the CMES Director, is composed faculty from across the University who have been, or continue to be, active in teaching on or engagement with the Middle East. The committee’s functions are to offer advice to the Director on matters pertaining to the Center, to vote on key Center policy issues, and to serve as a conduit for information on Middle Eastern studies at Harvard and beyond the university. 

The Committee on Middle Eastern Studies administers the AM Regional Studies program and the joint PhD programs in Middle Eastern Studies with Anthropology, History, and the History of Art and Architecture.
