Last night, Aranoush Shirajian Yeretsian passed away at the age of 101. Aranoush, a remarkable women in her own right, was the daughter of Rev. Aharon Shirajian, whose extraordinary courage during the Armenian Genocide I documented in The Resistance Network. He also graces the cover of the book.

Today is #Armenian #Genocide Remembrance Day. In this short video for the Brainwaves Anthology, I discuss the importance of incorporating the voices and actions of the victims resisting genocidal onslaught into our narrative.

I’m honored to be giving this year’s Annual Armenian Genocide Commemoration Lecture at Cornell University. I’ll be speaking about ethnic cleansing and #genocide in the long 19th century, focusing on the #Native #American, #Circassian, and #Armenian cases.

Happy to share that the six-volume series A Cultural History of War is set to be released next month by Bloomsbury Publishing! My chapter in Volume 5 explores war and ethnic cleansing in the 19th century. Learn more about the series here: www.bloomsbury.com/us/cultural-...

And just like that, I’m stepping into my 9th year at Columbia! You might think that after all that time the excitement would begin to fade. But every time I walk into the classroom, I feel the same exhilaration I did on my first day—fresh out of my PhD and eager to share my passion for learning.

I LOVE the Armenian Museum of America in Watertown, MA and will be speaking there on THE JACKAL'S MISTRESS book tour with my great friend @khatchig.bsky.social, Tues., March 11. Please join us! Until then here's a video taste of the museum! @doubledaybooks.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkC0...

Thrilled to share that our #book on the Late #Ottoman #Empire & its legacies will be out in 2025! Our 5-year project brought together 50 scholars who participated in multiple hybrid workshops at #Columbia University to shape this 660-page edited volume. #books #MiddleEast #history

We’re unpacking our boxes of books from preceding moves, and it’s just a joy to have all of my history and language and culture books back with me. And it’s so much fun to see books written by people I know! @azelin.bsky.social, @achristiemiller.bsky.social, @khatchig.bsky.social…
