Ottoman history is not only the field of my research. It became a passion.

I also want to thank Prof. Dr. Suraiya Faroqhi and Prof. Dr. Jo Vansteenbergen, for their expert suggestions. My colleagues of the History Department have also been supportive by letting me share my ideas in development during research meetings at the department, lunches and visits to the pub.

  • Source: Kritovoulos, History of Mehmed the Conqueror, Trans
    Source: Kritovoulos, History of Mehmed the Conqueror, trans. Charles T. Riggs (Princeton, NJ: Princeton Univ. Press, 1954), pp. 60-75 [excerpts] About the Document The Greek historian Kritovoulos was not present at the final siege of Constantinople in 1453. He entered the service of the Turkish sultan Mehmed the Conqueror shortly thereafter. The sultan appointed him governor of the island of Imbros. Kritovoulos' clearly set forth his sense of his own cultural status in his introductory note to the sultan, in which he declared that, to be properly preserved for posterity, the sultan's tale had to be recorded in Greek. His account of the city's fall reflects his contradictory feelings about the event, in that he openly admired the sultan's military ability (which he called "in no way inferior to those of Alexander the Macedonian"), while lamenting the final disappearance of the Byzantine Empire. This document relates the events of the fall of Constantinople, from Mehmed's speech to his troops on the eve of battle to the death of the Emperor Constantine and the sack of the city. Kritovoulos recognized that readers would question the accuracy of his account. He stressed: "I have already labored hard, for I was not a witness of the events, to know the exact truth about these things. In writing the history, I have at the same time inquired of those who knew, and have examined carefully into how it all happened." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Second Address of the Sultan, calling upon all to fight bravely, and promising them that they would be rewarded with goods and many other fine things, if they fought well.

Its aim was to find whether there is scope for further efficiencies and synergies, and if so what structure, administration or delivery might realise those improvements. Scholarship schemes build soft power, in the short and long term; they promote international development; they enhance the reputation of UK universities; they recognise and promote the highest standards of intellectual achievement; they build international academic communities; they recognise and promote the highest standards of intellectual achievement; and they project British excellence abroad, promoting the UK internationally as a place to visit, study and do business.

  • Curriculum Design and Delivery
    CURRICULUM In a new seven-part series, Matt Bromley will look at the central tenets of an Curriculum design effective curriculum and how to design and deliver this. He begins with a general and delivery: Part 1 discussion about what a good curriculum should look like n June 2017, the chief inspector of schools, Amanda Spielman, gave a speech at the Festival of Education in which she advocated a broad and balanced school curriculum. All too often, she argued, schools lose sight of the real substance of education: “Not the exam grades or the progress scores, important though they Iare, but instead the real meat of what is taught in our schools and colleges: the curriculum.” She said that although education had to prepare young people to succeed in life and make their contribu- tion in the labour market, “to reduce (it) down to this kind of functionalist level is rather wretched”. Education, she argued, “should be about broadening minds, enrich- ing communities and advancing civilisation”. Intent, implementation and impact As a response to Ms Spielman’s call to arms, the curriculum will feature more prominently in Ofsted’s next Common Inspection Framework (CIF), due for release in 2019. It is likely to be under a new judgement area called “the quality of education”. In an Ofsted blog in October 2017 Sean Harford said: “Without (the curriculum), a building full of teachers, leaders and pupils is not a school. If pupils don’t get the benefit of a rich and deep curriculum then they will have learnt too little and made little progress.” Mr Harford bemoaned the fact that, in recent years, “there has been a lack of reflection on the design, con- tent and implementation of curriculums” and that, even today, there is “a lack of coherent debate and discussion about the curriculum”.

    Amanda Spielman HMCI Ofsted Clive House 70 Petty France London SW1H 9EX 2019 Monitoring of Independent Inspectorates I am writing further to my letter of 9 April 2019 about quality assurance of independent inspectorates. I understand that our officials have had further discussions about what activity might add the most value in this area. Our officials, along with those from the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) met on 9 May and agreed that Ofsted and ISI will develop a programme of joint work to include looking at the following: • Operational level functions, looking thematically at inspections, possibly including work to look at inspecting safeguarding, leadership and management, curriculum, single proprietor schools and/or boarding; • Corporate level functions, to include issues such as the use of data, inspection scheduling and risk assessment; • Strategic level functions, such as design and implementation of new inspection frameworks. The details of the programme will be for Ofsted and ISI to determine and I understand that officials at both inspectorates have already met and outlined a productive programme. DfE officials will be happy to provide support and the aim is that this work should not be resource intensive. At each level, Ofsted and ISI can agree to work together on issues in addition to those mentioned above if they both think they can usefully benefit. We expect a programme covering all of the above points to take several academic years. I would like you to report any results or recommendations to me as part of your annual report relating to ISI. The Secretary of State is responsible for the ongoing approval of ISI under section 106 of the Education and Skills Act 2008 (“the 2008 Act”).

  • Science Versus Religion: the Influence of European Materialism on Turkish Thought, 1860-1960
    Science versus Religion: The Influence of European Materialism on Turkish Thought, 1860-1960 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Serdar Poyraz, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Carter V. Findley, Advisor Jane Hathaway Alan Beyerchen Copyright By Serdar Poyraz 2010 i Abstract My dissertation, entitled “Science versus Religion: The Influence of European Materialism on Turkish Thought, 1860-1960,” is a radical re-evaluation of the history of secularization in the Ottoman Empire and Turkey. I argue that European vulgar materialist ideas put forward by nineteenth-century intellectuals and scientists such as Ludwig Büchner (1824-1899), Karl Vogt (1817-1895) and Jacob Moleschott (1822-1893) affected how Ottoman and Turkish intellectuals thought about religion and society, ultimately paving the way for the radical reforms of Kemal Atatürk and the strict secularism of the early Turkish Republic in the 1930s. In my dissertation, I challenge traditional scholarly accounts of Turkish modernization, notably those of Bernard Lewis and Niyazi Berkes, which portray the process as a Manichean struggle between modernity and tradition resulting in a linear process of secularization. On the basis of extensive research in modern Turkish, Ottoman Turkish and Persian sources, I demonstrate that the ideas of such leading westernizing and secularizing thinkers as Münif Pasha (1830-1910), Beşir Fuad (1852-1887) and Baha Tevfik (1884-1914) who were inspired by European materialism provoked spirited religious, philosophical and literary responses from such conservative anti-materialist thinkers as Şehbenderzade ii Ahmed Hilmi (1865-1914), Said Nursi (1873-1960) and Ahmed Hamdi Tanpınar (1901- 1962).
