John Curry (History) presented a paper entitled "The Hagiography of Ünsi Hasan Efendi (d. 1723) as a marker of socio-cultural shifts in the eighteenth-century Ottoman Empire" at the 26th meeting of the CIÉPO (Comité International des Études Pré-Ottomanes et Ottomanes) Symposium, held in Varna, Bulgaria. His paper was part of a panel entitled "Emotions, Fate and Society in the Ottoman World," for which he was also appointed as the acting chair, being the senior scholar on the panel. CIÉPO is the largest European organization devoted to the study of the Ottoman Empire, and meets once every two years alternately at a location in Europe and Turkiye for a one-week symposium.
