Boğaziçi University, Istanbul
At a time when democratic systems around the world are increasingly marked by political crises, states of emergency, and shifts towards illiberal forms of governance, an international conference titled Resilience, Resistance, Renewal: Rethinking Democratic Politics in Times of War and Emergency will be held at Boğaziçi University in Istanbul from 24 to 26 June as part of the European project SOS4democracy.
The event will bring together researchers from the social sciences and humanities, practitioners, activists, students, and others engaged in research and advocacy related to the rule of law and fundamental freedoms in democratic systems.
The conference will also feature two keynote speakers: Prof. Dr. Donatella della Porta, Professor of Political Science and Director of the Centre on Social Movement Studies at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Florence, and Prof. Dr. Murat Somer of Özyeğin University in Istanbul.
