This week, Sezer was invited to speak at a special Anthropology Forum held as part of Özyeğin University’s Anthropology Days—an event designed to highlight how deeply anthropology connects with the many disciplines that shape academic life at ÖzÜ.
The goal of the forum was clear:
to bring together academics from different departments whose research or practice touches upon anthropology and ethnography, and to show students of the newly established Anthropology Department just how rich, diverse, and interdisciplinary the field truly is.
The panel gathered a group of inspiring scholars from across the university:
Bora Sezer from Communication and Design
Şebnem Timur from Industrial Design
Alper Açık from Psychology
Faik Gür from International Relations
Candan Türkkan from Gastronomy and Culinary Arts
The conversation was facilitated by Ali Sipahi from the Department of Anthropology, who guided the discussion across a wide range of themes, from human behavior and cultural heritage to design, global politics, and food culture.
Held on Friday, February 27, the forum created a vibrant space where disciplines met, perspectives intertwined, and students had the chance to witness anthropology not as an isolated field but as a living, breathing lens that touches every part of our world.
