<p>Empire of Salons (Princeton University Press, 2022) explores gentlemanly salons in which the elite men displayed their knowledge and status. Helen Pfeifer in her award-winning book shows that these salons both contributed to the empire’s political stability as much as any formal institution and played a central role in Syria and Egypt’s integration into the empire after the conquest of 1516–17. Nir Shafir will serve as the discussant and Ayşe Baltacıoğlu-Brammer will moderate the event.</p>
