Greek Experience Under Ottoman Rule | Athens, September 3, 2019
Sponsored by the Princeton University Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies, this workshop on "The Greek Experience Under Ottoman Rule" follows on the success of the three earlier workshops (links to past programs below). Hosted at the Princeton Athens Center, the 2019 workshop is scheduled for September 3, 2019. It is designed to bring together those who are working on the Greeks in Ottoman history and culture.
Considering the focus on the experience of the Greeks under Ottoman rule, prospective participants are encouraged to consider additional, comparative or interdisciplinary frameworks for papers, beyond the Ottoman context. In accordance with recent trends in history writing, such as transnational and international history, applicants might want to think about the scale of their work. Are they telling a local, a regional, or even a transnational or international story? And what are the connections among and across these levels?
Deadline: Applications are due on Monday, April 22, 2019.
Organizing Committee (Princeton University): Dimitri Gondicas (Hellenic Studies) and Molly Greene (History and Hellenic Studies)
