The Department of Alevi Theological Studies at the University of Vienna will host a hands-on workshop titled “Accounting for Debt: Power, Wealth, and Death in the Ottoman Empire (1700–1830)” on 11 June 2026.
Led by Ali Yaycıoğlu from Stanford University, the workshop will explore the entanglements of property, capital, and debt in the eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire. It will focus on fiscal practices, networks of obligation, and probate inventories as key sources for understanding how power, credit, and state order were negotiated.
The workshop will take place from 09:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the seminar room of Alevi Theological Studies, Schenkenstrasse 8–10, 1010 Vienna, University of Vienna.
Participation is limited to 15 people. Registration is required via yavuz.koese@univie.ac.at and/or riza.yildirim@univie.ac.at.
