Both Shores of the Aegean Seminars

Third Friday of each month at 5:00 p.m.

This season, The Ottoman Bank Museum is hosting a series of monthly seminars entitled "Economy and Society on Both Shores of the Aegean", organized in collaboration with Alpha Bank and the History Department at Bogaziçi University.

Focusing on the Greek-Orthodox populations during the late Ottoman period and the first decades of the Republic, the seminars will address issues concerning ethnic and civic identity, inter-communal relations, urban culture, educational policies, commercial activities, social networks, the exchange of populations, and the Patriarchate. Seminar speakers will provide comprehensive information on these topics with special emphasis on the historical past of the region.

Admission to the seminars, which will be held in English, is free.
