Inspired by the interdisciplinary possibilities and the innovative scholarly avenues that the study of materiality can open in the field of Armenian Studies, the 2019 International Graduate Student Workshop focuses on the theme of material objects. The exploration of society, arts, culture, and politics through material objects will provide opportunities to discover the ordinary or the everyday practices and experiences of Armenian communities across space and time.

This workshop, sponsored by the University of Michigan’s Armenian Studies Program and funded by the Alex Manoogian Foundation is organized by Marie-Aude Baronian (University of Amsterdam, Visiting Manoogian Scholar, U-M) and Dzovinar Derderian (PhD Candidate, Department of Middle East Studies, U-M).

Cosponsored by the Multidisciplinary Workshop for Armenia Studies and the Society for Armenian Studies
