Overview

This seminar offers participants the opportunity to understand and scrutinize political, economic and social processes and their complex dynamics in Turkey through a series of discussions with the lecturers. It particularly provides a space to hear scholars from Turkey who got dismissed from their university positions due to signing a peace petition calling to end state violence in and against Kurdish regions in January 2016. Four scholars participating in the lecture series have since not been allowed to leave Turkey and will lecture via livestream.
