Come and get to know a truly collaborative project on Turkish republican history by academics from Turkey many of whom were subjected to a purge for their signatures on a petition for peace. Created by a partnership between Kültürhane (https://www.kulturhane.org/) and the Centre for Democracy and Peace Research (http://cdpr.org.uk/), "100 Years 100 Objects" will be an open access online encyclopedia that is going to represent the history of the first hundred years of republican Turkey through one hundred objects. The Journal of the Ottoman and Turkish Studies Association (JOTSA) will publish a selection of these articles in English translation.
Panelists include Ulaş Bayraktar (the co-founder of Kültürhane), Hümeyra Gülmez (one of the members of the translation team), Noémi Lévy-Aksu (Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg / Hafıza Merkezi), Tülin Ural (Mimar Sinan Güzel Sanatlar Üniversitesi, one of the contributors to the online encyclopedia), Zeynep Yelçe (Sabancı University, the coordinator of the translation team), and Bediz Yılmaz (the coordinator of the encyclopedia project). Meral Camcı (an Academic for Peace) will moderate the panel.
