Historians Caroline Schneider and Dr Hans Lukas Kieser will present an expansion of the research contained in the Long Shadows exhibition concerning the Yazidi and the modern Middle East.

Caroline Schneider will present her PhD research as it relates to the plight of the Yazidi, a religious minority, currently in exile in Iraqi Kurdistan and under attack by terrorist groups in the Middle East. This presentation will be supported by her PhD supervisor Dr Hans Lukas Kieser who's own research focuses on the demise of the Ottoman Empire, marked by the First World War. They will explore far reaching repercussions of political and military actions and repetitive histories.

Kieser is an historian and Australian Research Council Future Fellow with UON's Centre for the History of Violence, Kieser's research focuses on the demise of the Ottoman Empire, marked by the First World War.
The Long Shadows exhibition is part culmination of this project, seeing Kieser collaborating with Dr Kate Ariotti and PhD candidate Caroline Schneider to provide a comprehensive chronology of historical conflicts and violence and the shadows they cast into the present day.

Light refreshments will be provided. We hope you will join us for these important examinations of a complex subject matter.
