Geçtiğimiz hafta Bilgi Üniversitesinde Cornell Fleischer hocanın öğrencileri hem hocalarını andılar, hem de üç günlük çok esaslı bir konferans tertip ettiler. Şöyle düşünün. Salondaki herkes en az dört dil biliyor. 2 doğu, 2 batı dili.

We wrapped up the morning of June 12 with a Thematic Workshop led by Burçak Özlüdil titled “Death and Disease in Digital History.”

Many thanks to Prof. Özlüdil for sharing her work on how digital tools and methods reshape our understanding of historical experiences of health and mortality. We’re grateful to all who attended and contributed! #shifaana2025

We began June 12 with Panel 1: Scaling Crisis: Empire, Environment, and Epidemics, chaired by Nükhet Varlık. Many thanks to our panelists: John Curry, Antonis Hadjikyriacou, Einar Wigen, Alp Eren Topal, Carlo Trombino, and Benan Grams for their contributions.

We’re grateful for your participation and look forward to continuing the conversation throughout the workshop.
