SUMMARY:Football in the Middle East Working Group II
DESCRIPTION:Between April 6 and 13 2020\, the Center for International and Regional Studies held the second working group for its research initiative on “Football in the Middle East.” In light of the rapidly changing restrictions imposed on international travel as well as to maintain social distancing measures\, this working group was held “virtually”. Paper contributors made use of available technological options to meet\, present and comment on each of the paper submissions. The Working Group welcome and wrap up brought the scholars together for live interaction via Zoom conferencing\, and these group sessions were complemented by asynchronous interaction through prerecorded video discussions using Blackboard. This dual approach enabled CIRS to adapt to the current global situation and ensure the continuation of its research activities and engagement with the academic community. \n\nThe presentations and papers discussed are as follow\, \n\nPlaying in the triple periphery: Exclusionary policies towards Palestinian football in Lebanon- Danyel Reiche \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nGCC Football Fans and Their Engagement: Establishing a Research Agenda – Simon Chadwick \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nEducation in sports administration from scratch: the case of Qatar – John McManus \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nWho Kisses the Badge? The Player’s Perspective in the Performance of National Identity in the Qatar National Team – Thomas Ross Griffin \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nRefugees and Football in the Global and Middle East Context – Ramón Spaaij \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nBeyond Soft Power: Football as a Form of Regime Legitimation – Abdullah Al-Arian \n\n\n\n\n\nThe National Game: A Political Prehistory of the Egyptian League – Ibrahim Elhoudaiby \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nWomen’s football in Turkey: Trivial\, threatening and ultimately unequal – Yagmur Nuhrat \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nA Study of Football Art as Political Expression in the Algerian Hirak – Maher Mezahi \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nThis CIRS project is an attempt to engage and produce new literature on an understudied area in the Middle East by engaging scholars and experts from multiple disciplines\, including political science\, anthropology\, business\, and journalism among others. After final revisions based on peer comments and suggestions\, CIRS will gather the final chapter submissions into an edited volume on Football in the Middle East to be published by a university press. \n\nRead more about this research initiative\n\nParticipants and Discussants:  \n\nShaza Afifi\, Georgetown University in QatarZahra Babar\, CIRS – Georgetown University in QatarMisba Bhatti\, CIRS – Georgetown University in QatarSimon Chadwick\, emlyon Business School\, FranceIbrahim Elhoudaiby\, Columbia UniversityThomas Griffin\, Qatar UniversitySalma Hassabou\, Georgetown University in QatarMehran Kamrava\, CIRS – Georgetown University in QatarJohn McManus\, Qatar UniversityMaher Mezahi\, Independent Football Journalist\, Algeria Suzi Mirgani\, CIRS – Georgetown University in QatarYagmur Nuhrat\, Istanbul Bilgi University\, TurkeyDanyel Reiche\, American University of BeirutRamon Spaaji\, Victoria University\, Australia Jackie Starbird\, CIRS – Georgetown University in QatarElizabeth Wanucha\, CIRS – Georgetown University in Qatar\n\nArticle by Misba Bhatti\, Research Analyst at CIRS
