Thanks Hala for a window into your corner of the academic community. As a graduate student myself I can only second your applause for humanistic mentors and the positive role they can play.

This becomes increasingly important not only due to the travails of the graduate student life itself, but moreover as a product of the intense politicalization of Middle East studies over the last few decades.

I would note that Professor Enayat's "Modern Islamic Political Thought" is to be re-released in October by Palgrave ( ISBN: 1850434654).

All my best,

John
