Scout Tufakjian will speak about Artsakh and her people - before, during, and after the ethnic cleansing by the Azerbaijani government, and what is being done (and what still needs to be done) to support them, preserve their culture, and continue to fight for their rights.
In this Grace and Paul Shahinian Armenian Christian Art and Culture Lecture Series talk, Prof. Zara Pogossian will put back on the historical stage the many peers of Sophia – Armenian élite women – who have rarely received due attention in traditional historiography.
Since history, Armenian-American history included, is more than just a recitation of organizations and entities, but is also made up of the stories of individuals, this presentation will combine family history with the early history of the Armenian-American community in New England and some of its developing institutions as a means to explore the early period of Armenian-American history and identity building in Massachusetts.
