Call for Abstracts for Conference on Islamized Armenians

February 12, 2013

The Conference on Islamized Armenians, scheduled for Oct. 11-13 in Istanbul, seeks abstracts from any discipline or background contributing to the historical debates on the mass coerced conversion of Armenians in 1915 and its aftermath, as well as to contemporary questions of ethnic/national identification, gender, responsibility, or justice. The conference will also address the role of research and scholarship in the difficult processes of facing historical and present forms of violence, discrimination, and injustice. CEU’s Andrea Peto, associate professor in the Department of Gender Studies, is a member of the conference’s scientific committee. Abstracts of maximum 500 words can be submitted in English or Turkish with a 200-word bio to eminekolivar@hrantdink.org by March 20.
