Some of my students, 2012

This year I was blessed with a very good class. Of my 35 students I have selected twelve that wrote end papers that are of publishable quality:
Alice Martin Prevel wrote about the DAAR project of Petti, Hilal, Weizman and consorts Alice Martin-Prével – Decolonizing Architecture in Palestine
Aswathi Chandramohan wrote about the work of the Iraqi-US artist Hayv Kahraman AswathiCHANDRAMOHAN_2012
Marie Boucaud wrote about the work of the French-Moroccan artist Majida Khattari Marie Boucaud Majida Khattari
Matthew Rohde wrote about Cartographies of Middle Eastern artists Matthew Rohde mid east maps
Robin Galan wrote a theoretically inclined piece about art and revolution in Egypt Art and the Revolutionary Moment: Reflections on the Egyptian case
Bailey Eisen wrote a paper about the Picasso in Palestine project of the Van Abbe Museum and the International Art Academy Palestine Picasso in Palestine
Alexandra le Moniet wrote her paper about the politics of the Museum on the Seam in Jerusalem Le Moniet: Museum on the Seam
Elisa Vera wrote an interesting paper about the Saudi artist Manal al Dowayan A glimpse of Saudi Arabia from inside

The above papers are all in English. The following are in French:
Barbara Tissier wrote a very interesting article on the absence of a Museum of Contemporary Art in Tunis, incorporating institutional critique perspectives Réflexions sur l’existence d’un musée d’art contemporain à travers le cas de la Tunisie.
Robin Beaumont wrote about the work of the Jordanian artist Saba Innab Robin Beaumont Paper – Saba Innab
Helene Michalak wrote a good overview of art education in the Arab world from a policy perspective Helene Michalak L_enseignement artistique 
and Claire Sophie Dagnan focused on the Franco-Algerian artist Zineb Sedira « GARDIENNE D’IMAGES »

I almost feel bad leaving out other students who wrote interesting papers, but it seems best to stick to the top-12.
