Guest Speaker Series: Ep. 2: Ottoman Greeks of the United States
On this episode I spoke with Dr. Yiorgo Topalidis, a Greek Immigrant with roots from the Pontus region, on his "Ottoman Greeks of the United States Digital Project". The project tracks the journey that many Ottoman Greeks took from Asia Minor, Eastern Thrace, and other parts of the dying Ottoman Empire, to the skyscrapers of New York and other cities and towns in the US. Aside from talking about this extensive and ongoing project, we talked about Dr Topalidis’s journey through academia, generational trauma and the politics of remembering, and of forgetting.
