curriculum vitae

Professor Emine Fetvaci received her BA in Art History and Economics from Williams College in 1996, and her Ph. D. in History of Art and Architecture from Harvard University in 2005. Her dissertation "Viziers to Eunuchs: Transitions in Ottoman Manuscript Patronage, 1566-1617" was a re-evaluation of the most prolific period in Ottoman manuscript production through a study of the networks of political and artistic patronage in court. She is interested in issues such as the codification of a historical record, the creation of collective memory, and the connections between artistic patronage and self-fashioning in early-modern courtly societies. Her research areas include the arts of the book in the Islamic world, and Ottoman, Mughal and Safavid art and architecture
