This book is one of numerous publications that have resulted from research undertaken as part of two projects funded by the UK’s Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). The first, which ran between 2012 and 2016, bore the title Orientations in the Development of Pan-Arab Television for Children. As authors we wish to acknowledge the AHRC research grant (AH/J004545/1) and to thank all those who helped with the grant and the project. The second, which ran between October 2017 and November 2018, is linked to the first as a follow-on project for impact and engagement.
