# Christopher Sheklian on Armenian Temporal Texts

In this talk, Christopher Sheklian explores “Calendars and Communities: Armenian Temporal Texts in the Library of Congress Collection.” Sheklian is assistant professor of philosophy and religion at Mississippi State University. He is currently working on a monograph entitled “Liturgical Rights: Armenian Minority Presence in Turkey.” Calendars, in their ability to set collective celebrations, highlight a group’s priorities, and organize the very fabric of time, are crucial tools for community formation and boundary maintenance. This video was made possible through the generous support of the Religion and Cultural Institutions Initiative at the Lilly Endowment.
