Keyman Family Program in Modern Turkish Studies

In spring 2005, the Buffett Center launched the Keyman Modern Turkish Studies Program to strengthen its offerings on campus and develop sustainable relationships with Turkish institutions, including ongoing communications and exchanges of faculty and students. Turkish language courses are offered on a regular basis to the Northwestern community. To further support ongoing scholarly activities, the Program features a series of conferences, lectures and cultural events relating to Turkey. The Program has brought in such luminaries as Orhan Pamuk, Fazil Say, Fahir Atakoglu as well as renowned visiting Turkish faculty including Sule Kut, Sibel Bozdogan, Sevket Pamuk, Dilek Barlas, Yesim Burul Seven, Beyhan Asma, Ahmet Evin, and Haldun Gulalp.
