Misel Gara Medieval Studies

Home Country: Hungary
E-mail: Gara_Misel@student.ceu.edu
Thesis: Social aspects of the Early Christian love-feast
Bio: Misel received his MA degree in History of Classical Mediterranean Antiquity from Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. His interest in late antiquity, and especially in the spread of Early Christianity in pre-Constantinian times, was developed from a social historical approach. In his first thesis he was comparing the social aspects of the Pagan sacrificial meal and the Christian love-feast, while lately, within the confines of CEU, the study of the concept of the communion led him to Eucharistic theology and political theology.

Yazici_Burak@student.ceu.edu.tr
Area of study: I graduated from Hacettepe University with a BA in History. My primary area of interest is the relationship between colonialism and religion. Colonialism has usually been considered as a policy devised to serve the material interests of the monarchies, and commercial ambitions of the merchants. However, in this research project, I aim to analyze the role of religion and missionaries in colonization policies by comparing the colonization of Eastern North America by France and the Balkans by the Ottoman Empire. I aim to study the similar/different roles that the missionaries and dervishes played in colonization processes.
Thesis: The Role of Missionaries in the Colonization of New France and Ottoman Dervishes in the Colonization of the Balkans: A Comparative Study on the Early Modern Age Missionaries
