Ottoman and Turkish Studies

From its inception this seminar adopted an interdisciplinary approach to Turkic studies, and its members represent many fields. At the same time their interests span more than twelve centuries. In most years the program covers a selection of topics reflecting current research of members. Special anniversaries such as the Atatürk centennial (1981–1982), the sixtieth anniversary of the Turkish Republic (1983–1984), and the traveling exhibition The Age of Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent (1987–1988), however, have provided themes around which all papers or a series of papers have been centered. Discussion on papers presented—no matter what their topic—has shown that dialogue between, for example, political scientist and art historian, medievalist and modernist can be both stimulating and productive.
