Gender, Ethnicity and the Nation-State:
Anatolia and Its Neighboring Regions

Sabancı University in collaboration with the Hrant Dink Foundation and Anadolu Kültür

May 21-24, 2009

Istanbul

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 focused 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.
