"e-cmes" is meant for a broad cross-section of people interested in Middle Eastern studies. As such, submitted articles should be accessible to a wide, but reasonably informed audience. Submissions will be accepted for potential publication from Harvard students, faculty, alumni/na, associates, staff, visiting scholars, and post-docs, as well as Middle Eastern Studies faculty and students from other universities and colleges. Submitting an article does not guarantee that it will be published. All submissions will be reviewed by one or more members of the editorial board for consideration. We will notify you if your article was accepted for publication.

All submissions or inquiries about submissions should be made via email to: bshughes@fas.harvard.edu. Your first article submission should be accompanied by a byline. Photos may be sent via email or on a CD. If you do not have the means to digitize your photographs, you may submit them by mail to:

Summer Hughes, Editor e-cmes magazine
CMES, Harvard University
38 Kirkland Street
Cambridge, MA 02138

Please note: Hard copies of photographs must be accompanied by a self-addressed stamped envelop with the appropriate postage for return mail if you wish to receive the photos back. They should also be clearly labeled (on the back of the photo) with your name and a caption.
