[Centre for Southeast European Studies, University of Graz] Online Book Launch: “Under the Banner of Islam: Turks, Kurds, and The Limits of Religious Unity” by Dr. Gülay Türkmen
June 10, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm UTC+1
Event Description: Is it possible for religion to act as a resolution tool in violent conflicts? Following this question, Dr. Gülay Türkmen will present her new book “Under the Banner of Islam: Turks, Kurds, and the Limits of Religious Unity” where she explores how religious, ethnic, and national identities converge in ethnic conflicts between co-religionists in Turkey. The book tells a specific story of religion, ethnicity, and nationalism in Turkey’s Kurdish conflict, but it also tracks a broader narrative of how ethnic and religious identities are negotiated when resolving conflict.
Dr. Gülay Türkmen is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Graz’s Center for Southeast European Studies and a visiting researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity.
Time/Date: Thursday, 10 June 2021, at 18:00-19:30 (CET).
