International Workshop for Graduate Students by Koç University:

Cappadocia in Context

Koc University’s Office of International Programs (OIP) and Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (RCAC) is jointly launching a compact and in-depth workshop geared toward graduate students interested in the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Byzantine and Post-Byzantine Cappadocia. The program offers the unique opportunity to explore the region's spectacular volcanic landscape with dozens of rock-cut settlements, including hundreds of painted, rock-cut churches, chapels, monasteries, houses, villages, towns, fortresses, and underground cities. Through a program that combines lectures, guided site visits, thematic explorations, and seminar presentations, the workshop will explore ways to "read" the landscape and its monuments, as well as ways to write a regional history based on the close analysis of sites and monuments.
