Khatchig Mouradian, PhD, Lecturer in Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies (MESAAS) at Columbia University, is the author of The Resistance Network: The Armenian Genocide and Humanitarianism in Ottoman Syria, 1915-1918. His presentation will explore the spectrum of actions that constitute resistance and, by focusing on one form in particular, show how ordinary behavior can become acts of resistance in extraordinary times.
