Astrology has always occupied an uneasy position within Ottoman history. We spoke with Tunç Şen about his new book and how early modern Ottoman astrologers sometimes enjoyed elite positions of authority, and other times struggled to defend thier expertise. ottomanhistorypodcast.com/20…
I would love to see graduate students in Ottoman studies participate in this and get the invaluable editorial feedback on their drafts. Please circulate widely!
Our annual JHI Graduate Symposium will be held virtually on October 17. The theme is "Prophecy, Prediction, and the Politics of Futurity.” Members of the journal’s editorial board will offer feedback on students’ papers. Proposals are due June 22.

Six years ago, @emin_lelic organized a workshop at Salisbury University that launched the Mid-Atlantic Ottomanist Workshop (MAOW) series, building on the model of GLOW and WOW. Since then, MAOW has met at NYU, Mary Washington, Princeton, the University of Richmond, and the 6th MAOW will convene at Rutgers–Newark. Please apply if you are in the region and spread the word!
It’s been such a pleasure to watch MAOW not only continue, but truly grow.
I highly recommend Nir's book to anyone interested in Ottoman book history and questions around manuscript production
In the latest ep, we discuss Nir Shafir's prize-winning book. He examines how pamphlets helped fuel a new arena, largely independent from the institutional centers, where people debated everyday questions of the time about what it meant to be Muslim. 👇ottomanhistorypodcast.com/20…

It's time to remove laptops from classrooms.
24 experiments: Students learn more and get better grades after taking notes by hand than typing. It's not just because they're less distracted—writing enables deeper processing and more images.
The pen is mightier than the keyboard.

Kicking off the newest season of OHP with my friend @richardcalis to discuss his fabulous book about the curious figure of Martin Crusius.
Season 15 debuts with @richardcalis and how Martin Crusius’ (d. 1607) fascination with 'Ottoman Greece' shed light on debates about cultural and religious difference and how Greek identity became entangled with orientalist perceptions of the Ottoman world

Does anyone have experience deciphering an Ottoman chronological riddle (like a chronogram but not in the form of a poem or phrase) that seemingly has no integer solution?
