Dear beloved, beautiful, strong women:

Managing multiple, challenging tasks we face daily,
Along the wonderful odyssey of life we embrace gently.
Kismet of goodness we share in many ways,
Engaging others to be of light, glowing against darkest decay.

Intelligence, ingenuity, industriousness in any line of duty
Trusting, truthful, tender heart matching tenacious, tolerant spirit.

Happiness we share spreading gravity of motivated minds,
Alert, appreciative, altruistic spirit engaging unity of hearts,
Persevering, peaceful, patient, souls in a wheel of wholesome growth.
Pleasure after pain, pragmatic, wit, efficient in conquering problems,
Enduring with strength, decisiveness, faith, hope, love intuition, values,
Nurturing respect, harmony, justice, dignity, equality peace, humble commitment with unmatched courage.

~ an acrostic poem by Ana Angelica Abaya van Doorn

E192 | Bathhouses or hamams are a well-known feature of the Ottoman city typically associated with leisure. However, as our guest Nina Ergin explains, the history of hamams also provides a window onto many socioeconomic and political issues in the Ottoman Empire. In this episode, we discuss her research regarding the hamams of Istanbul during the mid-eighteenth century, what they tell us about the political economy and demographic makeup of the Ottoman capital, and how mapping hamams onto the landscape of Ottoman Istanbul can raise new questions about the social history of the city.

Nina Ergin is Associate Professor in the Department of Archaeology and History of Art at Koç University, specializing in the history of Ottoman architecture. Her work particularly revolves around monuments that have a strong social dimension, such as hamams, soup kitchens and hospitals, as well as around the sensory dimensions of the Ottoman built environment.

Chris Gratien is a doctoral candidate at Georgetown University studying the social and environmental history of the Ottoman Empire and the modern Middle East. His doctoral research examines the ecological transformation of the Adana region of Southern Turkey from the mid-19th century onward.
