PUBLICATIONS

Members of the GU-Q faculty are prolific and award-winning authors, with publications that reflect a range of disciplinary backgrounds and research interests. Their works address such topics as economics, literature, history, international law, media, metaphysics, politics, and religion. They range in focus from the Gulf and the Middle East, to Africa, Europe, North America, and Asia.

The importance of the research findings is reflected in the prestige of the presses that publish them, which include Brill, Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, Routledge, and Springer International Publishing, to name a few. GU-Q faculty have also published with Qatari institutions such as HBKU Press.

The academic year’s publications together constitute a major body of work of the highest standards, and significantly help to establish Qatar as a global center of knowledge production.
