Research Summary

Professor Ekmekcioglu is currently collaborating with Dr. Melissa Bilal (UCLA) to compile a critical anthology of Western Armenian feminism. Titled Feminism in Armenian: An Interpretive Anthology, this book focuses on twelve Istanbul-born feminists who were active in various parts of the world from the 1860s to the 1960s. The project includes a digital humanities component: a documentary website and online exhibition that archives these feminists’ published and unpublished work.
