Solidarity with academic communities in Syria & Turkey: a panel discussion
A solidarity event featuring academics from communities impacted by the Kahramanmaras earthquake in Syria and Turkey
The Kahramanmaras earthquake has devastated large parts of Turkey and Northwest Syria, where 11,200 people have been killed and tens of thousands more injured and displaced.
Join us on Monday, 13 February to hear from a panel of Turkish and Syrian academics who are either located in or working with communities impacted by the crisis. They will discuss the conditions on the ground, the needs of those affected, and the ways to support local organisations providing humanitarian aid.
