The Outreach Center produces occasional curriculum guides for teaching about various topics on the Middle East and Islam. These guides are available as PDF downloads and can be used in conjunction with materials from our library (books, films, CDs, realia).

Below is a full list of our curriculum newsletter Middle East Resources from 1990 to the present. Please feel free to download any of these issues.
