The Stanford Global Studies Division, in conjunction with the Handa
Center for Human Rights, the Center for Russian, East European,
and Eurasian Studies (CREEES), and the Abbasi Program in Islamic
Studies, has agreed to sponsor three Stanford University students
to participate in the Armenian Genocide centennial commemoration in
Istanbul, Project 2015 said today.
"We are delighted that Stanford University will support the efforts of
Project 2015 to support a global commemoration of the Armenian Genocide
in Istanbul this April," said Seepan Parseghian, Project 2015 board
member. "We look forward to having Stanford students take advantage of
this great opportunity to join the historic commemoration activities."
Stanford University students wishing to learn more about the travel
grant application process should contact Stanford Global Studies:
https://sgs.stanford.edu/funding/travel-grant-opportunity. The deadline
for applications is March 16, 2015.
"Being able to discuss issues such as the Armenian Genocide with
scholars from Armenia and Turkey is of profound importance for our
students' intellectual growth," said Norman Naimark, Fisher Family
Director of Stanford Global Studies. "This fits into the mission of
Stanford Global Studies of providing unique opportunities for students
to explore complex issues from multiple perspectives."
Project 2015, a US-based organization, is working to ensure that
a large contingent of Armenians come to Turkey for the historic
centennial commemoration. Working with Durde, its partner organization
in Turkey, Project 2015 is ensuring a meaningful opportunity to
honor the victims of the genocide and recognize the resilience of
the survivors. Stanford University is making grants available to
any student interested in joining these commemoration activities
in Istanbul.
Project 2015 is also making a limited number of study grants
of a minimum of $750 available to students wishing to travel to
Turkey for the commemoration events; application materials and
further information is available on the Project 2015 website at
armenianproject2015.org. The deadline for applications is March
15, 2015.
Study grant participants are expected to participate actively at
each of the commemoration-related events in Istanbul, including:
a commemoration concert on April 22; the April 24 events at various
locations in the city, culminating with the commemoration at Taksim
Square; and an academic conference on April 26 and 27 at Bilgi
University with co-sponsorship by UCLA's Richard Hovannisian Endowed
Chair in Modern Armenian History.
"We hope that other universities follow Stanford's lead in making
study credits and travel grants available for their students to
participate and learn from this important initiative," said Parseghian.
