Sabancý University, in collaboration with the International Hrant
Dink Foundation and Anadolu Kultur is holding the second Workshop in
Commemoration of murdered journalist Hrant Dink. The title of the
workshop is "Gender, Ethnicity and the Nation-State: Anatolia and
Its Neighboring Regions."
The workshop is taking place at the Tobacco Depot (Tutun Deposu),
Hacý Mimi Mahallesi, Luleci Hendek Caddesi No. 12, Tophand, Istanbul
and runs from May 21-24.
Registration is required for the workshop on Thursday, Friday and
Sunday, but events on Saturday are open to the public.
Drawing on Hrant Dink’s legacy of highlighting existing human
connections and imagining new ones across physical and imagined
borders, Hrant Dink Memorial Workshops seek to initiate and encourage
interdisciplinary academic dialogue among scholars working on Anatolia
and its neighboring regions.
Gender and ethnicity have been key categories of differentiation and
conflict in nationalisms and nation-states, interacting with each
other in multiple ways. Hrant Dink Memorial Workshop 2009 focuses on
the ways in which constructions and transformations of gender and
ethnicity in and beyond nation-states have shaped Anatolia and its
neighboring regions in the 20th century.
