In this seminar, Dr. Pinar Akpinar, who has been conducting field research in three countries in Lebanon, Qatar and Tunisia, will share her findings. Meanwhile Dr. Bulent Aras, who is a coordinator of the project, will address the current situation of Turkey and the Middle East in addition to the scope of the whole project.
