Middle East Studies Association of North America

The Middle East Studies Association of North America is a group of grown-ups who study and teach about a part of the world called the Middle East. They talk about different countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, and try to understand their cultures, histories, and languages. They also try to learn how people in the Middle East relate to one another, and how they interact with other parts of the world. Sometimes, they write books and articles, give presentations and lectures, and hold meetings where they share what they've learned. They hope that by sharing their knowledge, they can help people better understand this part of the world and the different people who live there.
