Originating Calendar: Campus Humanities Calendar; William Stroebel (University of Michigan) ~ The Greco-Turkish Population Exchange of 1923 was the first internationally legitimated project of forced deracination in modern history. This talk aims to recover something of the rich refugee literatures that fell through the cracks of the modern border regime, straddling Greek Orthodoxy and Sunni Islam, Greek-script, Arabic-script, and Latin-script literary traditions.
