Professor of International Relations and Anthropology at the Pardee School Augustus Richard Norton introduced Göçek, and commended her extensive research on Turkey and the Ottoman Empire.
The Campagna-Kerven Lecture series was launched by Madame Suzanne Campagna to provide a forum for informed discussion and debate about modern Turkey, and particularly to inspire students to learn about the country. The multidisciplinary series was inaugurated in 1996 and it features scholars, artists and public intellectuals. The annual lectures have addressed and will continue to address a rich variety of themes on modern Turkish society, economy, culture and politics. Campagna’s father, Mehmet Nahid Kerven, who died in 1974, was one of the famed “Young Turks.”
