The Seminar for Arabian Studies is the principal international
academic forum for research on the Arabian Peninsula. First
convened in 1968, it is the only annual academic event for the
study of the Arabian Peninsula that brings together researchers
from all over the world to present and discuss current fieldwork
and the latest research. The Seminar covers an extensive range of
diverse subjects that include anthropology, archaeology,
architecture, art, epigraphy, ethnography, history, language,
linguistics, literature, numismatics, theology, and more besides,
from the earliest times to the present day or, in the fields of
political and social history, to around the end of the Ottoman
Empire (1922). The Seminar meets for three days each year, with an
ever-increasing number of participants coming from around the globe
to attend. In 2016 the fiftieth meeting took place, in which sixty
papers and posters were presented in London at the British Museum,
where this prestigious event has been hosted since 2002. The
Seminar also regularly hosts a special session focusing on a
specific aspect of the Humanities on the Arabian Peninsula,
enabling a range of experts to present their research to a wider
audience. In 2016 this special session was entitled 'Textiles and
Personal Adornment in the Arabian Peninsula', which provided a
fascinating overview of research on dress, textiles, and adornment
in the Middle East.
