“Minding the gap: Attempts at community archaeology and local counter-narratives at an archaeological site in Turkey” Published Article

Published in the Journal of Social Archaeology, this article by Asst. Prof. Sevil Hatice Baltalı Tırpan discusses her experiences of joining the Kerkenes Project which has been a part of as assistant director since 2010. The project which was designed to make archaeology better understood and more accessible to the community to generate “heritage awareness” of the locals around the well-known Iron Age site of Kerkenes in central Turkiye, did not result in sustained collaborative relationships or greater appreciation as archaeologists had hoped. This study points out how archaeologists and locals can become entangled in socio-political frameworks beyond their control.

“The Consolations of Art: Nietzsche and the Birth of Tragedy” A Seminar by Dr. Kerem Eksen

In Nietzsche's first book, "The Birth of Tragedy," he not only presents a philosophical theory about the golden age and decline of Greek tragedy but also proposes a kind of art metaphysics that analyzes the dynamics underlying a genuine work of art. In this seminar, the Nietzschean criteria for distinguishing between good and bad art was discussed, as well as how the famous Nietzschean view on how artworks that reveal the terrifying dimensions of life, such as Greek tragedies, can also provide consolation to individuals.

ITU Students Attend Emergency Workshop for Engineers in Madrid Through EELISA Mobility Program

Within the scope of EELISA, an emergency workshop titled "Social Science Garage: Emergency Workshop for Engineers" was organized at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) in Madrid on March 30-31, 2023.

"Humanities and Social Sciences Colloquium II" organized by the Department of Sociology and IFEA (the French Institute of Anatolian Studies)

The Seminar was held between IFEA (the French Institute of Anatolian Studies) and the Department of Sociology as a part of the second series of seminars entitled "Humanities and Social Sciences Colloquium II" organized by the Department of Sociology of Istanbul Technical University. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Doğan Gürpınar examined the patterns of name-giving in 20th Century Turkiye and how the event relates to the country’s trajectory towards modernity in the talk and paper entitled “The Meanings of Names: Promise of Modernity, Upper Mobility and Nation in Republican Turkey”.

“A Typology of Right-wing Populism in Europe” by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ayşe Serdar, reveals the gendered dimension of populism

The research by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ayşe Serdar and coauthors delve into the role that gender plays in populist politics and proposes a typology of gendered populism. They argue that the way populist parties construct “the people” against “the elites” and “non-people” is a gendered process, where gender acts as a defining element for determining who is included or excluded from “the people”. The study highlights the intersection between the gendered construction of “the people” and political parties’ configurations of religion and secularism.

“Is There Bias in Biometric Systems?” presented in Berlin, Germany

This paper in the philosophy of technology aimed to explore the question of whether biometric technologies are value-neutral or value-laden. The paper argues that concerns such as marginalization, privacy erosion, control concerns, and discriminatory biases in biometric technologies arise from certain design decisions and should be questioned. The authors Prof. Dr. Aydan Turanlı and RA. Ecehan Aygül Gönül raise the possibility of biases in the designs of biometric technologies and highlight the importance of ethical considerations in the design process and the responsibility of designers to address biases in technology. This paper was presented in “The 15th International Conference on Humanities, Psychology and Social Sciences” held in Berlin, Germany on March 2023.

“The Conspiracy Book: The Conspiracy Industry in Turkey” a new book by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Doğan Gürpınar

The book describes the prevalence of conspiracy theories in Turkiye and their impact on society. It highlights how conspiracy theories are used to explain events and shape them. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Doğan Gürpınar argues that the consumption of conspiracy theories has become a basic necessity in Turkish society and that they are constantly being produced and circulated through various mediums including social media. The Book offers a tour of different types of conspiracy theories, such as how they intersect and overlap, suggesting that for those who believe in conspiracies, reality becomes increasingly slippery.

“Water in Istanbul and Beyond: Past, Present, and Future”

"Water in Istanbul and Beyond: Past, Present, and Future" international symposium that we organized was on March 14, 2023. Dr. Çiğdem Özkan Aygün was a co-applicant on the international project on behalf of ITU and she managed the interdisciplinary research project titled “Water in Istanbul: Rising to the Challenge?”, which began in 2021. The main supporters for this research are the British Academy- Knowledge Frontiers International Interdisciplinary Research Scheme and the research brings together archaeologists, engineers and historians from the University of Edinburg, Northumbria University and Istanbul Technical University. The aim of the project is to investigate water management infrastructure in Istanbul and to see how past practices can provide solutions to current problems.
