SUMMARY:Workshop: Middle East Beyond Borders—Ozkan Karabulut (Harvard University)\, “Scripturalization of the Alevi Mystical Poetry\,” November 3\, 2025 @6:15pm
DESCRIPTION:Ozkan Karabulut (PhD Candidate\, HMES) will join us to share a chapter titled “Scripturalization of the Alevi Mystical Poetry” on November 3rd. \nWe will be meeting from 6:15-7:30pm in the Finnegan Room (Barker 403) and dinner will be provided. See event flyer for more info and to RSVP. \nThe Middle East Beyond Borders (MEBB) workshop aims to foster an interdisciplinary community of scholars working on the past and present of the Middle East. It takes as its founding premise the idea that the “Middle East” as an object of inquiry must fundamentally engage notions of boundaries\, mobility\, and transformation. Our goal is to offer a platform for collaboration and discussion to all Middle East scholars at Harvard across a wide range of academic fields and disciplines. To date\, our community has welcomed scholars from NELC\, History\, Middle Eastern Studies\, Anthropology\, the Study of Religion\, Law\, Art and Architecture\, and more. During meetings\, we typically workshop a polished dissertation chapter or prospectuses from graduate students.
