The Kenan Center for Turkish Cultural Studies supports a growing constellation of research initiatives that reflect the evolving dynamics of Turkish culture, history, literature, and thought—both within Turkey and across its diasporas.

These initiatives are rooted in the intellectual commitments of our affiliated faculty, researchers, and students, and often engage wider academic and public communities in long- and short-term collaborations.

Projects at the Kenan Center vary in form and scope. Some emerge from the specialized interests of individual scholars; others are born of urgent historical questions or conceptual explorations shaped by the Center's leadership.

insight from the humanities, social sciences, arts, and religious studies. All are nurtured within the Center's commitment to fostering critical inquiry, ethical engagement, and cross-cultural dialogue.
