The Republic of Turkey was founded 100 years ago.
Join us in a day-long exploration of the history of Turkey, its global impact, and its contentious future. At this interdisciplinary conference, distinguished scholars from leading Bay Area universities will use Turkey’s centennial as an occasion to evaluate the wars and crises, the social movements and ideological battles, the political transformations and global events that have marked the country’s first one hundred years and inform conceptions of its next century.
This conference is organized by the Program on Turkey at the Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law (CDDRL), and co-sponsored by the Abbasi Program in Islamic Studies.
