Launching of the Inaugural Issue of JADMAG (Jadaliyya in Print)
 www.JadMag.org

This issue coincides with the eighth anniversary of Jadaliyya, and ushers in a new era and concept for JadMag. Starting this fall, it will be published as a subscription-based magazine in both hard-copy and electronically. JADMAG will be released in print four times a year. Coupling timely content with the addition of essential readings lists, reviews of new books and scholarly articles, and topical pieces from Jadaliyya’s celebrated archives allows the JADMAG project more ambitiously to function as a knowledge producer, a near-comprehensive source of analysis on the region, and a pedagogical resource par excellence. Read more about this at www.JadMag.org.
