Assyrian Studies

Together with the Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures, the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at UC Berkeley is launching a new Assyrian Studies Initiative.  By joining the study of ancient and modern Assyrian history, we hope to engage not only the broad UC Berkeley community with events and programming, but also, diasporic cultural institutions in the Bay Area and globally.
