GMES is a new interdisciplinary minor at UIC, focusing on the diverse and transnational experiences of Middle Eastern and North African communities within the region and around the world. Combining critical ethnic studies and area studies approaches, the GMES minor provides students with background and analytical tools for the transnational study of the Middle East, North Africa, and diasporic communities from the region.
