About Us
The Society aims to raise awareness about Albanians and their role in issues typically SOAS-ian. More about Albanians: Though European, Albanians have for centuries enjoyed a glorious relationship with peoples from across the Middle East and North Africa - as generals of the Ottoman Empire, Pashas of Egypt or 'ulema (religious scholars) in Syria. Close cultural contact with different empires and a unique ego-ontological positioning in the world has allowed for a rich historical and cultural heritage to develop, and which this Society aims to promote throughout the academic year with many exciting events.
