Workshop #2 : Ottoman Memories: Transculturalism and Empires in Comparison’

Friday 1st November 2013 / Birkbeck, University of London  

I am the visual advisor for this project and will be curating the exhibition which will take place at the same as the conference in late June.

This workshop will focus on the following topic : Overlapping historically with other empires (British, French, Spanish, Hapsburg) and geographically abutting them, can the Ottoman Empire be studied in isolation?  What do we learn about Empires in comparison?
Speakers :   Sami Zubaida, Jay Prosser, John McLeod and Claire Launchbury

While space is limited, the event is open and free of charge. Please forward to anyone who may be interested.
