On the Papal receipt of The Poor and the Perfect: Five Questions with Neslihan Şenocak

In an interesting turn of events this past winter, Associate History Professor, Neslihan Şenocak, found her book in the hands of Pope Francis. Originally from Turkey, and an engineer, Şenocak's path to teach at Columbia was an unconventional, if not destined journey. Underscoring the importance of exposure to scholarship and study outside certain prescribed boundaries, Şenocak describes how an important grant for non-Christians who study Christianity in Rome took her from working as an engineer to studying medieval Franciscan history and eventually to Columbia.
