University of California Berkeley
September 26-27, 2008

We are inviting abstract submissions for the interdisciplinary 
conference "Orienting Istanbul: Cultural Capital of Europe?" at the 
University of California Berkeley. Taking as a point of departure the 
selection of Istanbul as one of Cultural Capitals of Europe in 2010, the 
goal of this conference is to reflect on how cities and culture have 
become key to imagining communities in a globalizing word.

Please, send your abstract submissions to Deniz Gokturk, Ipek Tureli, 
and Levent Soysal [dgokturk at berkeley.edu, ipek at berkeley.edu, 
levsoy at khas.edu.tr] by May 20, 2008. And please, check
