Recent news:

The NSMES MA thesis committee decided that the first MA Thesis Award of the NSMES is to be awarded to Mathias Ghyoot (University of Copenhagen) for his thesis “Brothers Behind Bars: A History of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Second Prison Ordeal, 1954‒1964”. The committee consisted of Laura Wickström, Mark Sedgwick, and Jacob Høigilt (replacing Charlotte Lysa due to a possibe conflict of interest). Congratulations!
