In this lecture, Dr. Anna Aleksanyan discussed how different types of sexual violence, including the right of the first night, affected provincial Armenian life in the 19th century and what was done to prevent these acts of violence.
The 8th annual UCLA Undergraduate Colloquium in Armenian Studies, originally postponed, took place on May 31, 2024 in association with UCLA Undergraduate Research Week.
The objective of this two-day international conference will be to reflect on these contemporary reshapings of the Armenian diaspora(s), revealing their diversity and the new dynamics at work. The colloquium will be video recorded for later release. The proceedings of the conference will be published in Études arméniennes contemporaines, the bilingual journal of the AGBU Nubar Library.
