However\, as cities have evolved\, the relationship between urban centres\, industrial zones\, and ports has shifted.

Her research explores computational and data-driven approaches to analysing cities\, focusing on the multi-layered urban network modelling and configurational analysis. Previously\, Merve worked as an architect and research assistant in Türkiye\, tutoring Architectural Design Studios and collaborating with urban planning and computer science experts on exploring spatial dynamics of urban environments. She holds an MRes from The Bartlett and an MArch and BArch from Middle East Technical University\, Türkiye \nAdmission is FREE but registration*** is ESSENTIAL. \n\n\n\n\nThis talk forms part of the Young Scholar Seminar Series organised by Yunus Emre Enstitüsü – London.\n\nIMPORTANT NOTES\nPlease note that this event is first come first served and may be overbooked.

Beyond technique\, this path has fostered cultural understanding\, revealing music’s power as both a universal and deeply personal language. \nAudrey’s artistry is informed by her unique ability to intertwine rigorous academic inquiry with emotive performance. Her collaborations span cultures and genres\, making her not only a virtuoso but also a thoughtful advocate for music as a medium of connection. Her work invites audiences to consider not just what they hear\, but how they listen. \nThe evening will conclude with a Q&A session\, an opportunity for the audience to engage directly with Audrey\, deepening the connection between her music\, her story\, and those who listen. \n\n\n\n\nThis talk forms part of the Arts & Culture Lecture Series organised by Yunus Emre Institute London since 2017. \nFor more information on the event\, please visit Yunus Emre Institute London’s Website: https://yeelondon.org.uk/ or email us at londra@yee.org.tr \n  \nIMPORTANT NOTES\nPlease note that this event is first come first served and may be overbooked.

SUMMARY:Young Scholars: Health services in Turkish culture
DESCRIPTION:[vc_btn title=”Click Here to Register” color=”success” size=”lg” align=”left” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Faliyesonsuz.eventbrite.co.uk|title:Click%20Here%20to%20Register|target:_blank”] \nYunus Emre Institute London is delighted to announce its upcoming Young Scholar Seminar Series talk: “Health Services in Turkish Culture: From the Ottoman Empire to the present day\,” by Dr. Aliye Asli Sonsuz. The talk will take place on Thursday\, October 10\, 2024\, at 7 pm UK time. \nHealth services in Turkish culture: from the Ottoman Empire to the present day \nThe words of Sheikh Edebali\, the leader of the Ahi organization and the mentor of Osman Bey\, who is the founder of the Ottoman Empire\, show us the importance given to health by the states in Turkish culture and the role it plays. \n“Let the people live so that the state may live.” \nIn Turkish culture\, the state is always seen as a father. This view is recognized as a paternalistic approach in political science. The father is a powerful figure who meets our basic needs and protects us. In Europe\, the state assuming responsibility for health is still relatively new. In Europe\, just at the beginning of the 20th century\, health started to be seen as a state service and responsibility. In these countries\, the movement initiated by Bismarck in Germany in 1883 and Lord Beveridge in the UK in 1942 can be considered the beginning. \nIn this talk\, we will briefly look at the structure of health services in Turkish culture and the role of the state from the Ottoman period to the present day. In fact\, we will evaluate the health policies of the Ottoman period\, the Republican period and today\, each of which is a separate subject. \nDr. Aliye Asli Sonsuz\, is a TUBITAK scholar at Greenwich University in London as a visiting researcher. She conducts her study in the field of health economics and policies. She is also faculty member of the Health Sciences and board member of Health Systems and Policies Application and Research Center (SASPAM) at Istanbul Medipol University. She received her Phd. from Istanbul Medipol University and master’s and bachelor’s degrees from Ankara University in the field of Health Management. During her career\, she worked for Marmara/Hacettepe Universities and the Turkish Red Crescent as an administrator. \nDate: Thursday 10th October 2024\nTime: 7 pm\nVenue: Yunus Emre Institute London\, 10 Maple Street\, London\, W1T 5HA \nTraditional Turkish Refreshments will be served. \nAdmission is FREE but registration*** is ESSENTIAL via Eventbrite.
