Doç. Dr. GÜRER KARAGEDİKLİ

Biyografi

I am an Associate Professor in the History Department of Middle East Technical University in Ankara where I received my PhD in 2017. I was a Lady Davis Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in the 2018-19 academic year. My research interests in Ottoman socioeconomic history in the early modern and modern periods include urban wealth and inequality, urban identities, religious foundations, Jewish communities, inter-communal relations, land use and peasant indebtedness, and legal practices.

I am currently the coordinator of a research project titled "House Prices and Urban Wealth Inequality in the Ottoman Empire, 1600-1913" which is funded by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK). My two other collaborative projects are Jewish Families in the Ottoman Middle East and Elite Formation in the Ottoman Empire.
