Fellowship Extension

We are happy to announce that the Philipp Schwartz Initiative for threatened foreign researchers (Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, supported by the Federal Foreign Office) has agreed to extend the fellowship for our Associate Ahmet Kerim Gültekin for another year beginning this fall. He will continue his research on the "Transformation of Religious Authority among Alevi Kurds of Germany. The Ocak System in-between Political and Religious Agendas".

The extension was made possible by the support of Leipzig University, Research Academy Leipzig and the KFG "Multiple Secularities", funding 50% of the extension year together.
