Title of Lecture: State, Law, and Revolution: Agrarian Power and the National State in Albania, 1850-1945

Candidate: Besnik Pula

Besnik Pula is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Sociology at the University of Michigan. Specializing in social theory and comparative and historical sociology, his research interests include processes of long-term institutional and social change, with a specific focus on the Balkans. His published work spans questions of Italian colonialism to contemporary issues of ethnic conflict, international intervention, and social movements in the Balkans. His dissertation uses extensive archival materials to examine peasant radicalism and state building in early twentieth century Albania, and the dynamics of legal change in Ottoman successor states in the Balkans, the Middle East, and north Africa. 

Students will have the opportunity to meet the candidate at 4:30 in Room 609
