Columbia Global Centers | Istanbul

Columbia Global Centers | Istanbul was launched in November 2011 and is directed by İpek Cem Taha (’93BU, ’93IA). The Istanbul Center serves as a hub for Columbia programs and initiatives relevant to Turkey and the region, and continues to focus on several ongoing themes, such as gender equality, refugees, art and architecture, in addition to exploring new ones, such as narrative medicine. The Center is exploring new and exciting work with the other Global Centers, Columbia campus counterparts and the newly-minted Sakıp Sabancı Chair and Center for Turkish Studies.
