are pleased to announce that a series of workshops under the general title of
“Frameworks of Diversity, Modalities of Interaction” are being launched under
the auspices of Sabancı University in memory of Hrant

style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt">The
twentieth century has witnessed hot and cold wars, resulting in physical and
imagined borders that entailed the separation of people, ideas and processes.
Despite these facts, however, the twentieth century has also been a time of
coexistence, dialogue and exchange. While not trivializing historical and
contemporary experiences of conflict and violence, the workshops also seek to
explore untold or silenced stories as well as obscured structures of empathy,
interaction, and interdependence.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

on Hrant Dink’s legacy of highlighting existing human connections and imagining
new ones across presumed or imposed borders, the first of our Hrant Dink
Memorial Workshops is entitled “Migrations, Connections, and Perspectives:
Anatolia and its Neighboring Regions in the Twentieth Century.”
