April 6th, 2020 - 4:30PM-5:20PM
Location: Morrill Hall
Room: 404
As significant historical points of reference, borderlands in the early modern era revealed different state-society dynamics. These broadly defined “end territories” were places where "one empire flowed into (and out of) another … wars were fought, garrisons built, and allegiances tested.” I argue that in the Ottoman-Safavid rivalry, the border manifested itself as a...

April 20th, 2020 - 4:30PM-5:20PM
