FEATURED SPEAKER
TALIN SUCIYAN: Associate Professor of Turkish Studies at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich
Join Dr. Suciyan for compelling insights and to explore the pivotal Ottoman era of Tanzimat, which has a reputation for reform and equality. She will present a radically different view of Tanzimat, one in which policies of oppression were set in motion which disenfranchised Armenians—foremost peasants, villagers, migrant workers, and vulnerable women—in every respect and set the foundation for the policies of governance throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.
Talin Suciyan is Associate Professor (Privat Dozentin) of Turkish Studies at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. Outcasting Armenians: Tanzimat of the Provinces is her recently published second book, which was her habilitation thesis accepted by her home university LMU Munich in 2019. She received her doctoral degree in 2015 with her book The Armenians in Modern Turkey: Post-Genocide Society, History and Politics (I. B. Tauris), which has been translated into Turkish (Aras Publ., 2018), German (De Gruyter, 2021) and soon will be released in Russian. Her research focuses on Ottoman inter-communal relations, Armenian ecclesiastical law, labor, gender, peasantry, Armenian literature of the Ottoman provinces, and medical practices of the 19th and 20th century Middle East.
Talin Suciyan's Outcasting Armenians: Tanzimat of the Provinces is available from the NAASR Bookstore.
A reception will follow the discussion and book signing.
