The purpose of Turkiye Diyanet Foundation Scholarship Program

Since its inception, Turkiye Diyanet Foundation has continued its educational activities in Turkey and abroad, in collaboration with many agencies and institutions but particularly with The Presidency of Religious Affairs and Turkish Ministry of National Education.

a) To contribute Islamic education of the Muslim communities.

 b) To train qualified people in every aspect of Islam who will benefit their communities with their knowledge and experiences.

 c) To build cultural bridges between Turkey and related societies. 

d) To share experience in the field of Islam and Islamic education.

EDUCATION IN ISLAMIC SCIENCE FACULTIES

Faculties of Islamic Theology consist of three main departments. All students take their courses from these three departments at the undergraduate level. Basic Islamic Sciences: Making up the backbone of the faculties of Islamic theology, this department teaches the sciences that flourished in fields like law and ethics, which arose from the key sources of Islam by contemplating on the knowledge in these sources. In this department there are Islamic Theology (kalam), Quranic Exegesis (tafsir), Hadith, Islamic Law, Sufism (Tasawwuf), History of Islamic Sects, Arabic Language and Eloquence, Reading the Quran and the Science of Recitation. Philosophy and Religious Studies: One of the aspects that makes theological education in Turkey more advantageous compared to other Islamic countries is that philosophy and religious sciences are taught in an integrated manner with the courses of Islamic theology. The fundamental disciplines included in Philosophy and religious sciences are the following: Religious Education, Philosophy of Religion, Psychology of Religion, Sociology of Religion, History of Religions, History of Philosophy, Islamic Philosophy and Logic. Islamic History and Arts: This department is part of the Faculty of Islamic Theology in order to supplement the education of theology in terms of history, art, and literature, and its main courses are Islamic History, History of Turkish-Islamic Arts, Turkish-Islamic Literature, and Turkish Religious Music. Given the richness and diversity of the departments, a student who will receive theological education in Turkey will be studying in a university, rather than a faculty, as he/she will be acquiring considerable knowledge on philosophy, literature, history, sociology, psychology, and art history in addition to taking the basic courses of Islamic sciences.

Summer School “Kinship and Politics Undoing the Boundaries” 2017 in Germany

Deadline: 1 April 2017
Open to: postgraduates and advanced doctoral students from Anthropology, History, Sociology, Political Sciences and neighbouring disciplines
Venue: 2 – 7 July 2017, Bielefeld University, Germany

Description

The summer school’s goal is to re-examine the relationship between politics and kinship. Organised by the ZiF 2016/17 research group on Kinship and Politics, the summer school intends to intervene in these debates by getting doctoral students and early career scholars to focus on this major conceptual problem. The summer school will revolve around two core theoretical perspectives: (a) “kinship” and “family” as analytical categories and (b) uses of kinship in political practice. The panels aim at bridging critical historical epistemology and empirical case studies. They are organised around four problem areas that should be examined from perspectives beyond a single discipline, region, or historical period:

1. Property and kin relations;
2. Conceptualising, implementing and negotiating the nuclear family;
3. Boundary work: kinning the state – state kinning;
4. The (re)making of political order, in particular through children.

Eligibility

Postgraduates and advanced doctoral students from Anthropology, History, Sociology, Political Sciences and neighboring disciplines.

Costs

Accommodation and travel costs (basic economy flights and second-class train tickets) of the participants will be covered. There are no fees for the summer school. 

How to apply?

• Applications should include a letter stating the reasons for applying, a short CV, an abstract (250 words maximum) and an outline of research results (up to 5 pages) to be presented at the summer school;
• Full papers (up to 8000 words excluding the bibliography) should be handed in by 11th June 2017 and will be distributed to all participants. It is expected that participants read all papers in advance.

Please send your application to the ZiF Kinship and Politics research group coordinator Miss Jennifer Rasell: kinshipandpolitcs@uni-bielefeld.de.
