Professor Peter B. Golden is a noted specialist on the history of the Turkic peoples of Central Eurasia; he has taught at Rutgers University since 1969, and currently serves as Director of the Program for Middle Eastern Studies there. His presentation for the Bregel Lecture series draws upon his long historical and philological research on the Turkic nomads of Inner Asia before the Mongol conquest of the 13th century.

The Bregel Lecture series honors I.U. Professor Emeritus Yuri Bregel, and his many contributions to the study of Central Asian history and of Persian and Chaghatay Turkic historiography. Professor Bregel taught in the Department of Central Eurasian Studies from 1981 until 2000, serving also as Director of the Research Institute for Inner Asian Studies from 1986 to 1997, and as Director of the Inner Asian and Uralic National Resource Center from 1989 to 1997.
