News

 İştar Gözaydın, who has been appointed Leibniz Professor of Leipzig University in cooperation of the Research Academy Leipzig with the KFG "Multiple Secularites" for the summer semester 2018, will have to give her inaugural lecture The Desire Was There on 15 May at 6 p.m. at Villa Tillmanns (Wächterstr. 13) via skype, because Turkish authorities refuse to issue her passport. The KFG expresses strong support for Professor Gözaydın. We hope that she will be able to take up her position in Leipzig as soon as possible.
