Events

Inclusive Higher Education in the Age of Transnationalism

Hosted by Contemporary Turkish Studies and the European Institute of İstanbul Bilgi University

In-person and online event (Vera Anstey Room, Old Building)

This two-day workshop will concentrate on the issue of inclusive higher education with a particular focus on transnational students, including refugees.

The event will bring together academics and practitioners to provide a platform where the participants can share their research and experiences. The discussions will also consider various models of intercultural higher education built in collaboration with local governments, businesses and NGOs.

The workshop's primary goal is to establish a network of scholars interested in studying the opportunities and challenges refugee youth and students from different ethnic and racial backgrounds face in attaining higher education. While the participants will explore future collaborative projects on inclusive higher education in general, the network will also help in the eventual drafting of comprehensive guidelines for higher education institutions in Turkey to transfer knowledge by building their capacities.

On the first day of the event, different cases and research on the topic will be presented by experts. The second day will be in the format of an open discussion, mapping the way forward, including possibilities for future projects the network might undertake.
