This book talk by Aziza Shanazarova (Columbia University) traces the remarkable story of the Sufi master Aghā-yi Buzurg and her ascent to religious prominence as the “Great Lady” of sixteenth-century Bukhara. Through her life and legacy, the book opens a window onto the little-known world of female religious authority in early modern Islamic Central Asia, revealing a far more complex and dynamic gender history than previously understood.

In this cycle of three conferences, historians of the Ottoman, Qing, and Mughal empires return to the problem of comparison by considering synchronicities and structural parallels across Asia. We focus on three broad areas: Imperial Ideology (Empires of Thought), Imperial Operations (Empires in Practice), and Society, Materiality, and Knowledge (Empires of Things).
