Homoeroticism in the Early Ottoman Empire
Paper written for History 199: Special Study for Advanced Undergraduates
Project Description
Rosinko’s paper presents a cross-cultural comparison of perceptions of male sexuality in Ottoman and Greco-Roman cultures. Inspired by a history class on the Ottoman Empire, Rosinko worked closely with his professor, consulted library databases and connected with the subject librarian for Classics and Middle Eastern studies to identify books and scholarly articles for his research. He also contacted some of the scholars whose articles he had read to request more suggestions of materials on his topic.
