DESCRIPTION:A century after the signing of the Lausanne Treaty and the forc
	ed population exchanges it endorsed\, the Lausanne moment continues to sha
	pe international politics and debates surrounding sovereignty\, migration\
	, security\, and identity. While the Lausanne Treaty is one of the few tre
	aties of the interwar period that have withstood the passage of time\, per
	ceptions of the Treaty have been less stable. The “unmixing” of communitie
	s\, considered a valid peace-making tool in 1923 has come to be seen as mu
	tual “ethnic cleansing.” Meanwhile in Turkey\, fierce debate swirls around
	 whether Lausanne should be considered a Turkish ‘victory’ or a ‘defeat’.\
	nIn Greece aspects of the treaty\, such as the jurisdiction of the mufti t
	o apply Sharia law in Western Thrace have faced solid legal criticism. Eve
	n as regional stability appears to be under threat\, many insist that the 
	treaty is a bastion of peace not to be touched. Discussion of the revisabi
	lity (or not) of the treaty was enough to create a Greek-Turkish diplomati
	c incident. The conference aims to bridge the divide isolating the discipl
	ines that have addressed the Lausanne treaty.
