Dr Paul Chin, Head of the Learning and Teaching Centre at University of Bath, carried out a series of events on Sabanci University Altunizade Digital Campus upon invitation of the Internship, Career and Alumni Relations Office.

From 16.05.2022 to 18.05.2022, Dr Paul Chin delivered 2 online seminars on “How to promote employability skills in the curriculum” and “Students as partners to promote learning and skills development” and one in-person workshop on “Promoting digital skills in universities”.

In addition to Sabancı University staff and students, staff members from Career Offices in different Erasmus-partner universities and HR professionals from Sabanci Holding Companies were invited to the events. The events were attended by more than 60 participants from 7 other institutions, namely Koç University, Ozyegin University, Yeditepe University, Acibadem University, Istanbul Kultur University, Ufuk University and BRISA.

In his previous visits to the university in 2014 and 2017, Paul Chin gave seminars on Employability Skills, Student skills development and Learning and Teaching Support. Further collaboration between Sabanci University and Paul Chin is envisaged.

German Consul General Johannes Regenbrecht hosted a book panel of Mapping Gender, edited by SU Gender Director Hülya Adak and Orient Institut Istanbul Director Richard Wittmann. In his opening speech, Johannes Regenbrecht mentioned this to be the first big event at the Kaisersaal since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. Hülya Adak and Richard Wittmann held speeches to introduce the readers to the book and to their research centers (SU Gender and Orient Institut Istanbul respectively). GalataPerform founder Yeşim Özsoy’s House of Hundred was screened after the book panel, enabling a discussion of the insterstices of gender, performance and history.

In December 2020, an online conference was organized by SU Gender and Orient Institut Istanbul with support from IPC Mercator. Scholars, activists and researchers from 25 prominent institutions worldwide gathered to discuss the prominence of gender and sexuality in Ottoman and Turkish studies.

Published in April 2022, the book Mapping Gender has enabled a discussion among scholars from the most significant institutions worldwide, including MIT, Yale, Oxford, American University of Beirut, Freie Universitaet Berlin, Leiden University, University of Athens, SOAS, EHESS Paris and various universities in Turkey, such as Sabancı, Boğaziçi, Koç and İstanbul University. The top names in the field contributed to the book, including Deniz Kandiyoti, Evren Savcı, Marilyn Booth, Efi Kanner, Fatmagül Berktay, Lerna Ekmekçioğlu, Heike Pantelmann, Sevgi Uçan Çubukçu, Laurent Mignon, Aslı Davaz and Irvin Cemil Schick.

Consul General Johannes Regenbrecht and Directors Adak and Wittmann presented the Centers respectively (SU Gender & Orient Institut Istanbul). The outstanding collaboration between Freie Universitaet Berlin and SU Gender, enabling co-teaching, organization of joint conferences and research activities (through the establishment of an ambassadorial position with SU Gender Director facilitating the liaison between the two universities) was illustrated as a role-model for other universities and institutes.
