Cross-Cultural Encounter and Transformation in Western Asia Minor from Byzantine to Early Ottoman Times

This conference focuses on one of the most fascinating historical landscapes of the Mediterranean, the Aegean coastland of Asia Minor, during the later Middle Ages. It intends to gather the leading historians and archaeologists currently doing cutting-edge research on regional and supra-regional aspects of Byzantium, the Ottoman Empire, and the Eastern Mediterranean in a two-day meeting at Notre Dame Rome to exchange thoughts and discuss methods, theoretical approaches, and latest results of their work on Western Asia Minor. The conference aspires to examine the multilayered realities of cross-cultural encounters and transformations in Western Asia Minor and contextualize them in a broader Mediterranean framework.
