The international cultural studies conferences that are organized every two years by this association have made significant contributions to cultural studies and brought together scholars who work in this area. Since the first meeting in Kemer, Antalya (2001), the Conferences have been organized, jointly, with 100. Yıl University in Van (2003), with Koç University in İstanbul (2005), with Işık University in Şile (2007), and with Karaelmas University in Zonguldak (2009).Abstracts are invited on the following sub-themes related to Turkish cultures, cultures of Turkey, and cultures of Turks, whether they are located in or outside Turkey. The conference is open to a variety of approaches and themes as long as they deal with culture and space, and are pertinent to the central focus of the conference.See the program here : http://semp2011.kulturad.org/index.php?turkce
