For the book & print history folks, this panel on printing cultures--with papers on 19th c. Arabic pubs., Qajar postcards, Turkish journals of the 1920s, printmaking in 1960s Iraq--will be of interest. Moderated by F. Barry Flood.

And not to leave out #DH / #digitalarthistory: this panel takes a deep dive into digital methods for the study of Islamic manuscripts from India and Yemen, cultural heritage, and urban space.

And other borders are crossed in the 'Mobility and Markets' panel, which takes up Majhar architecture in Argentina, sandals from the Swahili coast, 18th-c. albums from Istanbul, and textiles on the move
