Berna Turam is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Middle Eastern Studies at Hampshire College and the author of "Between Islam and the State: The Politics of Engagement."
The Campagna-Kerven lecture series provides a forum for presentations by leading experts--whether journalists, scholars, business leaders, literary talents or other creative artists--on modern Turkey, as well as by promising younger scholars and intellectuals.
Since 1996, the annual lectures have addressed a rich variety of themes on modern Turkish society, culture and politics. Given the increasing importance of Turkey on the global scene, as well as its major role in the Middle East, the Campagna-Kerven lectures are dedicated to fostering informed public debate on questions of the day, as well as improving the public’s knowledge of Turkish Society and politics. |
