Middle East Politics Online

USC class Blogs to understand the Middle East, its conflicts and possibilities

USC class blogs about Middle East Politics

The class I've been teaching this semester at the University of Southern California is almost over. The 33 students have posted well over 600 entries on the associated blog middleeastpolitics.net presenting information focused on 12 countries in this very diverse region.

They have learned a lot in a short time and the blogging requirement has been part of their almost daily routine. They even heard from two guest lecturers on the finer points of of social media use, search engine optimization and effective blog posting.
