“Inside the Middle East” is a tool kit for motivated students and practitioners. ITME teaches you to separate the wheat from the chaff, think critically, challenge popular tropes, evaluate primary sources and apply these skills to fast-breaking, real world issues.

ITME doesn’t teach WHAT to think – ITME teaches HOW to think.
