Funded Activity Summary

Europe and Identity: A transcultural history of European communities in the Islamic world 1685-1800. This project originates from the pressing need to reconceptualize histories in the context of multicultural societies. To address the mutual hostility of the historical narratives reinforced by recent global political events, we must open European history, and particularly the crucial period of the Enlightenment, to an inclusive cultural dialogue about the past. This project is built on a strong track record of dialogue with a region from which Australia is too often disconnected, despite the significant Arab and Turkish communities within the Australian polity. Recent conflicts have reinforced the urgency of opening this cross-cultural dialogue within our own multicultural cities.
