Turkey Beyond Borders: Critical Voices, New Perspectives has been launched

This project aims to foster collaboration between academics in Sweden and scholars from Turkey. It is supported by the Swedish Institute and it will continue until February 2022. The project is composed of a seminar and vodcast series on selected themes and subjects. Seminars will take place at Lund University, and vodcasts will be openly accessible to the public through the project website and other social media platforms.
