    MAHWAH, N.J.

    Ramapo College issued the following news release:

    Historian Ugur Umit Ungor will discuss "Confiscation and Destruction:
    The Young Turk Seizure of Armenian Property" at Ramapo College of New
    Jersey on Thursday, April 3 from 1 to 2 p.m. in the Alumni Lounges
    of the Robert A. Scott Student Center, Alumni Lounge (SC-138).

    Dr. Ungor will discuss the mass sequestration of Armenian property
    by the Young Turk regime during the 1915 Armenian genocide. He will
    look at the emergence of Turkish economic nationalism, offering
    insight into the economic ramifications of the genocidal process,
    and describing how the plunder was organized on the ground, especially
    how local elites became beneficiaries of state-sanctioned robbery.

    Ugur Umit Ungor earned his Ph.D. in 2009 (cum laude) at the University
    of Amsterdam. In 2008-09, he was a Lecturer in International History at
    the Department of History of the University of Sheffield. In 2009-2010,
    he was a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the Centre for War Studies
    of University College Dublin. Currently, he is a Lecturer at the
    Department of History at Utrecht University and at the Institute for
    War, Holocaust, and Genocide Studies in Amsterdam.

    His main areas of interest are state and nation formation, with a
    particular focus on mass violence. His most recent publications
    include Confiscation and Destruction: The Young Turk Seizure of
    Armenian Property (Continuum, 2011) and the award-winning, The Making
    of Modern Turkey: Nation and State in Eastern Anatolia, 1913-1950
    (Oxford University Press, 2011).

    Apart from his academic life, Dr. Ungor writes satirical columns and
    essays about cosmopolitan life on and across political and cultural
    boundaries. He places current global issues and themes in serious
    and ironic perspectives.
