Dr. Talin Suciyan (Maximilian University), Munich, will discuss the Ottoman Tanzimat era through the lenses of the Armenian Patriarchate Archives along with the Ottoman Archives. She will argue that while Tanzimat has long been portrayed as a progressive period that granted rights to all peoples of the empire, in fact it set the mold for policies of oppression which pushed Armenians out of their native lands and would be reutilized time and again.

Date: Tuesday, Feb. 27
Time: 7 - 8 p.m.
Location: University Business Center, Alice Peters Auditorium
