Speakers: Marc David Baer, Katherine Pangonis

Thanks in part to the Ottomans, for much of history Jews have had a positive image of Muslims. Acclaimed historian Marc David Baer charts the intimate relations between Jews and the Ottoman dynasty from the arrival of the expelled Iberian Jews in the fifteenth century to the end of empire in the twentieth century. The LSE Professor of International History, whose previous books include German, Jew, Muslim, Gay: The Life and Times of Hugo Marcus and The Dönme: Jewish Converts, Muslim Revolutionaries, and Secular Turks will be in conversation with journalist and author of Queens of Jerusalem, Katherine Pangonis.
