Prof. Asli Cansunar is quoted in an article in Turkish news site bianet (The Independent Communication Network) about the University of Washington having a focus on Turkish Studies, and upcoming on-campus events (Apr 29th, Apr 30th) related to culture and politics in Turkey.
The University of Washington is one of the few American universities that offers a course on Turkish politics. The department [Political Science] has made significant investments in this field, welcoming a Turkish PhD student last year, with plans to bring two more students next year.
Asli Cansunar states, "Our goal is to continue these efforts by making a long-term investment in recruiting doctoral students, fostering a dynamic synergy of research and knowledge-sharing among academics and students focused on Turkish politics. We believe that the active involvement of the Turkish community in the Pacific Northwest will further enrich this initiative."
