The six years following the ouster of President Mubarak have been characterized by continuous political change. Despite intermittent instability, Egypt continues to attract scholars of ancient, medieval, Islamic and contemporary history and culture. The American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE) is privileged to be the only institution awarding U.S. government-funded research fellowships throughout this period. Poised to celebrate 70 years of on-the-ground support to American scholars through its Fellowship and Expeditions programs, ARCE maintains an apolitical commitment to strengthening professional ties between American and Egyptian academia. As it implements its three-year Strategic Plan, we can expect ARCE to broaden research dissemination through a revitalized network of U.S. Chapters, social media campaigns and publications.
