Mostafa Minawi, assistant professor of history and the director of the Ottoman and Turkish Studies Initiative (OTSI), is currently working on two research projects. The first is a follow-up to his book, The Ottoman Scramble for Africa: Empire and Diplomacy in the Sahara and the Hijaz (Standford University Press, 2016), and is tentatively titled "Ottoman-Ethiopian Relations and the Geopolitics of Resistance: South-South Diplomacy in the Age of Colonialism." His second research project focuses on the lived experiences of "Arab" Ottomans living in Istanbul at the turn of the 20th Century.
