addressed in the course of the discussion? Pose at least one question.
-Professor Semerdjian stated that women didn’t appear in court and it was always men. The
leading factor she discussed is that it was a way for men to regulate women’s bodies. Could
other secondary factors have contributed to this?

I enjoyed how knowledgeable Nur Sobers-Khan is about the topic and brought a lot of
interesting insight. I found it interesting when discussed that they were looking for boys who had
physical marks of being combative to show that they fight. Interesting how there are different
traditions of slavery across different parts of the world.
