Dr. Harun Küçük Delivers the Dean's Lecture at the Mongomery County Community College
Middle East Center continues to expand its outreach efforts to new partners. Most recently, we collaborated with the Montgomery County Community College for a major event. Our affiliate faculty Dr. B. Harun Küçük, from Penn’s Department of History and Sociology of Science, gave the Dean’s lecture at MCCC on April 12, 2016. Dr. Küçük’s lecture entitled Fleeing the Inquisition: European Refugees in Istanbul in 18th Century was well attended by more than fifty people. After discussing the plight of refugees who fled Europe for religious persecution and settled in the Ottoman Empire in his lecture, Dr. Küçük also answered questions about the Syrian refugee crisis in Turkey and Europe.
