and French Linguistics, Khalapyan explored the field of English Literature in a
second Masters at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, before continuing to her
doctorate in the discipline of history at
the prestigious Central European University, Budapest,
Hungary, investigating the social status and role of women in Ottoman-Armenian
society. During her research there, she also served as a teaching assistant in
the Department of Gender Studies, where she offered a course on Oral History in
the 20th Century. Returning to Yerevan after defending her thesis, she also
taught a course on worldwide Women’s Movements in the Nineteenth and Twentieth
Centuries in the Department of Political Science at Yerevan State Linguistics
University. The recipient of a variety of fellowships, she has authored several
book chapters and articles in peer reviewed journals and presented the results
of her investigations in a variety of international conferences in Odessa,
Ukraine, Istanbul, Amsterdam, and Montreal. A periodic visitor to Los Angeles
to take part in the UCLA Graduate Student Colloquium in
Armenian Studies and to speak at the conference on
Armenians of Asia Minor, she has now returned to UCLA to offer a popular course
entitled “Local Endeavors, Global Context: Armenian Women’s History and
Movement from 19th to 21st Centuries.”
Her lecture at Glendale Public Library focuses on
educational initiatives among the Ottoman- Armenian community over the period
1876 to 1914 pursued by numerous charitable organizations under the impact of
Modernity. It will highlight the ways in which this movement stimulated new formulations
and perceptions of charity that promoted women’s schooling. It further explores
the ways in which women were influenced by and participated in the reform in
education and charity that they
believed would result in the wellbeing of the nation in
general and women and children in particular.
The lecture will be illustrated by a powerpoint
presentation.
