Sezer, Emine Melike

I am currently working as a student assistant on the ERC project “MAJLIS: The Transformation of Jewish Literature in Arabic in the Islamicate World” at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU), Munich. I began studying History at the LMU in 2019 and my minor subject was Oriental Studies (“Antike und Orient”). During my Bachelor’s degree, my focus was mainly on Habsburg-Ottoman relations in the late Middle Ages. I wrote my Bachelor’s thesis on the dissemination mechanisms of the fear of the Turks in the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation in the 15th century. I also continued my research into the history of German-Turkish relations during my Master’s degree in Turkic Studies. Here, I dedicated myself to expanding my Turkish language skills, learning other Turkic languages and Ottoman Turkish. I also have basic reading skills in Persian, Arabic, and Russian. Since 2022, I have been attending courses for a Master’s degree in Near and Middle Eastern Studies and East European Studies.
