Martin Kramer

Martin Kramer spent three months in Autumn 2004 at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, where he delivered three addresses: “When Minorities Rule,” “Shiites and U.S. Policy Between Allies and Adversaries,” and “Islam, Islamism, and U.S. Foreign Policy.” In Spring 2005, he spoke on the state of Middle Eastern studies at these venues: the 30th anniversary symposium of Georgetown’s Center for Contemporary Arab Studies; the inaugural conference of Brandeis University’s Crown Center for Middle Eastern Studies; a conference on academic integrity at Columbia University; and a conference on “Orientalism and Conspiracy” at Hamburg University. He also attended the U.S.-Islamic World Forum in Qatar, and made research visits to Egypt, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates.
