Berkay Gülen, International Studies – “Discussing Turkey-Israel Relations in Israel: Common Themes, Different Perspectives”
Faculty respondents: Liora Halperin, International Studies; Annegret Oehme, Germanics
Learn about the dynamics and political calculations behind expulsions of Jews from cities in medieval Europe — dramatic anti-Semitic actions that political elites used to bolster their own power— from the perspective of sociology; and what Israeli foreign policy makers think about Israel’s international relationships, especially with other Middle Eastern countries like Turkey, and the benefits and challenges of using interviews and qualitative methods in academic research.
Light lunch will be served.
