Taking place at Wolfson College on May 22nd, the Kizilbash/Alevism-Bektashism Symposium provides a rare opportunity to bring together established and emerging scholars of Alevi-Bektashi studies from the UK and abroad at the University of Oxford. It is the first of its kind globally to focus on digitally engaged projects on Kizilbash/Alevi-Bektashi material culture and heritage in Ottoman and contemporary contexts. Over the past five years, scholarship has increasingly moved towards large-scale digital research methods, including the digitisation of historical sources such as manuscripts and documents, mapping villages and sacred sites, conducting digitally informed ethnographic fieldwork, and documenting intangible cultural heritage such as ritual songs and dances.
