Recent decades have seen the expansion of Armenian Studies from insular history to a broader, more interactive field within an inter-regional and global context. This series, Armenians in the Modern and Early Modern World, responds to this growth by promoting innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to Armenian history, politics, and culture in the period between 1500-2000. Focusing on the geographies of the Mediterranean, Middle East, and Contemporary Russia [Eastern Armenia], it directs specific attention to imperial and post-imperial frameworks: from the Ottoman Empire to Modern Turkey/Arab Middle East; the Safavid/Qajar Empires to Iran; and the Russian Empire to Soviet Union/Post-Soviet territories. Reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the field, the series welcomes proposals from scholars in Ottoman/Turkish Studies, Iranian Studies, Slavic Studies, Middle Eastern Studies, Mediterranean Studies, and disciplines of History, Political Science, Anthropology, Literature and Sociology, among others. Topics and themes include, but are not limited to, the following areas: - Trade and economy - Cultural production - Political history - Gender - Intra and inter-religious relations - Diaspora - Genocide - Nationalism and Identity formation - Democratization Series Editor Bedross Der Matossian , University of Nebraska, Lincoln, USA Advisory Board Levon Abrahamian , Yerevan State University, Armenia Sylvie Alajaji , Franklin & Marshal College, USA Sebouh Aslanian , University of California, Los Angeles, USA Stephan Astourian , University of California, Berkley, USA Houri Berberian , University of California, Irvine, USA Talar Chahinian , University of California, Irvine, USA Rachel Goshgarian , Lafayette College, USA Ronald Grigor Suny, University of Michigan, USA Sossie Kasbarian , University of Stirling, UK Christina Maranci , Tufts University, USA Tsolin Nalbantian , Leiden University, the Netherlands Anna Ohanyan , Stonehill College, USA Hratch Tchilingirian , University of Oxford, UK.
