On Friday, January 20, at 4 p.m. in the Oddfellows foyer, the Philosophy and Religious Studies Department will host a reception in honor of Irem Kurtsal and Mark Steen, two visiting scholars who will be joining the Allegheny community this spring semester from the Philosophy Department at Boğaziçi University in Istanbul, Turkey. Faculty, staff, and students are invited to share hor d’oeuvres, engage in good conversation with Irem and Mark, and consider ways to team up over the course of the semester. Their experience concerning recent social developments in Turkey and their general capabilities as cosmopolitan thinkers are on offer to the college for the semester; please feel free to consult them with ideas that might bring their expertise into your classroom and to other campus events. Contact Eric Boynton (eboynton@allegheny.edu) with questions and see the Department website for Irem and Mark’s professional biographies. See you on Friday! If you can’t make the reception, please email Irem Kurtsal (ikurtsal@allegheny.edu), Mark Steen (msteen@allegheny.edu), or Eric Boynton (eboynton@allegheny.edu) directly.
