In a special episode of the Ottoman History Podcast, Sam Dolbee and CMES Academic Programs Manager and Associate Director of the AM Program Jesse Howell, History and MES PhD '17, travel by bike along the Ćiro Trail from Dubrovnik in Croatia to Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where they meet fellow Ottoman historian Marijana Mišević, History and MES PhD '22. Along the way, they consider the legacy and traces of early modern Ottoman caravan roads across this space, as well as their intersections with the Austro-Hungarian, Yugoslav, and more recent past. The episode is about mobility, memory, and the built environment. Also bicycles, friendship, and the journey. Listen to the episode, plus a bonus conversation with Howell, here.
