Guest Lecture at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
“Pope Gregory XVI (1831–1846) and the Eastern Question: Rome, Istanbul, and Imperial Geopolitics”
An in-person guest lecture at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences examining the intersection of religious policy and imperial geopolitics in the mid-nineteenth century.
Acerca de este evento
This lecture examines the political and religious conditions that shaped three critical geopolitical zones during the pontificate of Gregory XVI. Drawing on archival research, the talk explores how Rome navigated the shifting dynamics of the Eastern Question — the diplomatic and strategic rivalry between European empires and the Ottoman state — and how religious policy became both an instrument and a consequence of imperial ambition. The lecture offers a fresh perspective on the intersection of faith, diplomacy, and power in one of the nineteenth century's most consequential geopolitical arenas.
