BRITISH HISTORIAN JOINS ARMENIAN STUDIES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
Dr. Joanne Layxxxx, University of Manchester, has been designated the
first Manoogian Simone Foundation Post-doctoral Fellow, announced Prof.
Gerard Libaridian, Director of the Armenian Studies Program at the
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
Dr. Layxxxx's research in recent years has covered the British
Armenophile movement and the British response to the Armenian Genocide,
Armenian refugee relief post WWI, and also British travel literature on
Armenia. She has highlighted Soviet Armenian History, especially with
regards to the repatriation to Armenia and homeland-Diaspora relations.
Dr. Joanne Layxxxx's doctoral dissertation was titled: Anglo-French
Scholarship on Armenians in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth
Centuries and the Response to the Armenian Genocide (2000-2001),
University of Manchester, School of Arts, Histories and Cultures. Her
article "Armenia: The 'Nationalization,' Internationalization and
Representation of the Refugee Crisis," (co-authored with Peter Gatrell),
was recently included in Nick Baron and Peter Gatrell, eds., Homelands:
War, Population and Statehood in Eastern Europe and Russia, 1918-1924
(Anthem Press, 2004), 179-200. Her forthcoming publications in 2008
include Imagining Armenia: Orientalism, Ambiguity and Intervention
1878-1925 (Manchester University Press) and "Repatriations in Post
Second World War Armenia," in Peter Gatrell and Nick Baron, eds,
Warlands: Population Resettlement and State Reconstruction in Soviet
Eastern Europe, 1945-1950.
Dr. Joanne Layxxxx's research while in Ann Arbor will address the
cultural history of population displacement in modern Armenia, with
particular reference to constructions of 'home/land.' Her work will
highlight the various locations and contingent nature of 'homeland,' the
complex experience of multiple displacements and return journeys and the
centrality of landscape and material culture in articulating relations
between homeland and diaspora.
The position of Post-doctoral Fellow at the University of Michigan, Ann
Arbor, has been made possible by the recent gift from the Manoogian
Simone Foundation to the University's Armenian Studies Program. Dr.
Layxxxx will deliver a number of lectures to the University and larger
communities during her stay, January through June 2008.

SCHOLAR OF LATE OTTOMAN PERIOD TO JOIN ARMENIAN STUDIES AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN DURING WINTER SEMESTER
The Swiss scholar Hans-Lukas Kieser, a historian specializing in the
late Ottoman period, has been designated the first Manoogian Simone
Foundation Visiting Scholar, announced Prof. Gerard Libaridian,
Director of the Armenian Studies Program at the University of
Michigan, Ann Arbor.
Dr. Kieser, on the faculty of the University of Zurich, will be
joining the History Department faculty at the University of Michigan
for the Winter semester of the current academic year. He will be
teaching two mini courses " 'Missionary" America and the Near East
(19th-20th century)" and "Turkish and Kurdish Nationalisms, Late 19th
and 20th Centuries."
Professor Kieser is the author of "A Quest for Belonging. Anatolia
beyond Empire and Nation (19th-21st centuries)," to be released soon,
as well as three other volumes and numerous articles dealing with
Anatolia, Turkish-Armenian relations and Western-Ottoman relations. He
has lectured widely and conducted many workshops throughout
Europe. Dr. Kieser is considered one of the most respected scholars
whose research focuses on this difficult period. Dr. Kieser's doctoral
dissertation (University of Basel, in German) was titled "Mission,
Ethnos and State in the Eastern Ottoman Provinces (1839-1923)."
The position of Visiting Scholar has been made possible by the recent
gift from the Manoogian Simone Foundation. In addition to teaching two
courses, Professor Kieser will also be delivering a number of lectures
to the University and larger communities during his stay from January
through April 2008.
"Professor Kieser is one of the most prolific and prominent scholars
who study the late Ottoman period," stated Prof. Libaridian. "His
contributions to the understanding of this important period have been
quite significant, especially in terms of his research into the
relations of the Ottoman state with non-Turkic peoples. His courses
will add a new dimension not only to the Armenian studies curriculum
but also to the already rich offerings of the departments of History
and Near Eastern Studies at our university. We are all delighted that
he has accepted our invitation."Tags: None
