Please join us for this exciting opportunity to engage with the research of this year’s Eisenberg and department fellows. For this symposium, we have asked them to focus on one aspect of their projects that illustrates this year’s Eisenberg theme, “Orders and the unruly.” Their takes on this theme promise to be illuminating. Casey Stark will investigate the complexities of religious officeholding among the highest orders of ancient Roman society. Matthew Bahar will tell us about unusual Indigenous burial site from sixteenth-century Florida that unnerved early Spanish explorers. Hazal Ozdemir will introduce us to the disobedient photographers who were tasked by the Sultan to track Armenian migrants in the late Ottoman Empire. Allie Goodman will explore how young people negotiated their control, caretaking, and institutionalization in early twentieth-century Chicago. Come learn about authority and its subversion across continents and centuries!

This event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.
