Salon: Elif Shafak: A Sociological Exploration of Gender and Migration
Invitation to the final event of the SALON series on July 2, 2025!
Under the title “Elif Shafak: A Sociological Exploration of Gender and Migration”, Ahmet Yikik and Aylin Walder will provide insights into key social topics such as migration, gender, and social identity. In their lecture, they focus on the work of British-Turkish author Elif Shafak, whose narratives illuminate so-called “deviant” social groups and offer important impulses for expanding the concept of humanity. The event invites you to question established social norms and to rethink alternative social concepts through literature.
