Slavery and Other Forms of Strong Asymmetrical Dependencies in Ottoman South Eastern Europe

Event, 23 June 2022, online

Virtual Workshop

The workshop wants to analyze slavery and other forms of strong asymmetrical dependencies in Ottoman South Eastern Europe. We look to the Ottoman Empire from different angles and are thus interested not only in an Istanbul-centered perspective, but also in studies concerning regional aspects in its European provinces and border-regions – from the Crimean Khanate to Dalmatia, from Hungary to Crete, including connections with neighbouring regions.
