Microhistories in Armenian Studies

Edited by Barlow Der Mugrdechian, Ümit Kurt, and Ara Sarafian

The articles appearing in this volume were presented at a conference entitled “Microhistories in Armenian Studies” organized by the Armenian Studies Program of California State University, Fresno, on September 22-23, 2023. They have since been edited and appear here in a single volume.

The present study focuses on Armenian studies from a conceptual, theoretical and methodological approach. Each article, both in its methodological approach and its unique archival material, offers new insights by blending micro and macrohistorical perspectives on the major issues they address in Armenian Studies.
