*Supplementary reading lists for the M.Phil. Seminar are intended to be guides to methodological or conceptual literature within the field of Middle Eastern studies and beyond. These can be used as suggestions for further reading in the seminar, and may also be of use in helping students to frame their theses later in the course.

**A "special paper" is taught and examined the same way as the regularly offered course options. M.Phil. students can substitute only one special paper for one of the regular options.
