Lori Pirinjian was able to spend three-months in Armenia from April through June of 2024 completing her dissertation fieldwork. Her dissertation topic centers around Armenia’s recently passed domestic violence law and the politics surrounding it. As a result of her time in the field, complete with its ups and downs, failures and successes, Lori has come up with a few best practices for conducting fieldwork in Armenia that she will share during this talk.
Lori Pirinjian is a rising 5th year Ph.D. Candidate in the Armenian Studies program in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at UCLA. She holds a Master’s degree from San Francisco State University in Anthropology as well as Bachelor’s degrees in Spanish and Latin American Studies from the University of San Francisco. Lori’s research at UCLA centers around Armenia’s domestic violence law and its representation of the politically ideological fluctuation being experienced by this state.
Funding for this fellowship is provided by the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) through a grant to the Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC). The lectures are free and open to the public. Learn more at www.arisc.org
