This workshop aims to map the diverse clusters within Syrian Conflict Studies, including research centers, publications, websites, initiatives and specialized journals. This mapping will facilitate our discussion on effective strategies for disseminating academic knowledge about the Syrian conflict in Arabic.

It explores the relationship between Aksu and German Sinti-Roma boxing legend Johann Rukeli Trollmann (1907-1944) which transcends generations and geographies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">Rukeli Trollmann was exposed to many forms of discrimination by the Nazi regime because of \u201cboxing by dancing like Gypsy&#8221; and murdered in the Wittenberge Concentration Camp. Inspired by the fight of Rukeli Trollmann, the film traces Aksu&#8217;s experience of immigration to Berlin and the fight for justice in Istanbul. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">In Istanbul, three other dancers join Rukeli\u2019s dance\/fight by sharing the power of dance in their fight for justice: Gizem Nalbant, who experienced urban transformation in the Romani neighborhood Sulukule where she was born and grew up; Banu A\u00e7\u0131kdeniz who has been researching feminist body politics; and Sema Semih, who has been part of the Turkish LGBTQI+ movement for many years. As it carries Rukeli\u2019s story to Istanbul&#8217;s Romani Neighborhoods of Sulukule and Fikirtepe, the film takes a 9\/8 rhythmic look into Istanbul&#8217;s recent urban memory through the bodies of dancers. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-60335f2c\">\n<div class=\"gb-element-ba8d2572\">\n<div>\n<p class=\"gb-text gb-text-5a08ebdd\">15:45 &#8211; 16:30<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-4d339f99\">\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">&#8211; <em>Coffee Break<\/em> &#8211;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-504a7dbf\">\n<div class=\"gb-element-49a3cb05\">\n<div>\n<p class=\"gb-text gb-text-fc5e28ac\">16:30 &#8211; 18:00<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-e32954c8\">\n<h5 class=\"gb-text gb-text-7b0d8594\"><em>Commoning Knowledge: <\/em><br>Towards Cooperative Review and Peer Production<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"gb-text gb-text-3afdc2f9\"><em> with F\u0131rat Erdo\u011fmu\u015f<\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">This workshop explores how we can collectively produce and evaluate knowledge through participatory, decentralized and commons-based practices.
