Hans-Lukas Kieser

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans-Lukas Kieser (born in 1957)[citation needed] is a Swiss historian of the late Ottoman Empire and Turkey, Professor of modern history at the University of Zurich and president of the Research Foundation Switzerland-Turkey in Basel. He is an author of books and articles in several languages.

His interest into Turkey and the Ottoman Empire arose from the contact with the fugitives of the military coup in Turkey in 1980, whom he met while he was studying at the University of Basel.[1] This interest led to a PhD thesis which later was released by the Turkish publisher İletişim.[1][2]

He has been a lecturer or invited professor at Stanford University (2010); University of Michigan, Ann Harbor (2008); and other universities including the Bamberg University, in Germany, and invited scholar at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences in Paris, France and the Bilgi University in Turkey.[2] He received fellowships[which?] from academic institutions[which?] in Basel, Zurich and Freiburg (FRIAS), and from the Swiss National Science Foundation.[2]

He currently lectures as a Professor of Modern History at The University of Newcastle, in NSW Australia.[3]
