The Turkish Studies Chair of the Institute of Near and Middle Eastern Studies at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU), with the support of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (Lisbon) and the Gomidas Institute (London), will be hosting a new lecture series entitled “The Ottoman Empire and its Eastern Provinces”.

The lectures will be given by leading scholars from Turkey, Switzerland, Sweden and the United States on a variety of topics that still resonate with us today. Each month one speaker will make their presentation to a critical audience in Munich, and each talk will be reported for the benefit of the broader scholarly community.

The first lecture, “The Violence of Neighbours: Inter-Religious Violence in Late Ottoman Diyarbakır,” by Dr. David Gaunt (Södertörn University, Stockholm) will take place on November 7.
