The Organizing Committee

The conference is organized by members of the Research Area 6 ‘Cultural Identity’, which is a part of the International Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture (GCSC). The co-speakers of the Research Area 6, Anastasiia Marsheva and Şahin Yaldiz, developed the conference idea with the support of GCSC Adjunct Research Fellow Dr. Doris Bachmann-Medick.

GCSC is an interdisciplinary graduate centre at the Justus-Liebig University in Giessen, where international doctoral candidates, post-doctoral members, and visiting scholars conduct concept-based study of culture and organize events related to their work on concepts.
