Conference Presentations

NYUAD offers competitive grants to NYU Abu Dhabi students whose posters, papers, and creative works have been accepted for presentation at academic conferences.

Presentations vary across disciplines; from research papers presented at scientific conferences, to exhibitions in museums, and film screenings at film festivals.

This experience was extremely beneficial for my academic and professional growth because I was able to network with leading scholars in the field of Middle Eastern Studies as well as receive feedback on my Capstone Project.

Melissa Levinson, presented her Capstone research at the Middle Eastern Studies Association (MESA) Annual Conference in the US.
