Nice to meet you. Let us see whether we can develop any common projects, or me or my university may participate in existing or coming projects.
By the way, I am very familiar with Kazan Tatars and love Tatarstan :)
Keep in touch.

At 4:13am on July 19, 2007, Burcu Yesiladali said…: Dear Sezai, it is nice knowing you too. I would like to hear more what type of projects you are running/developing on diversity management. Two years ago, I attended a diversity management/conflict resolution training seminar in Budapest. When I went back home, I thought there are not many options to conduct work on "diversity management". I would like to hear more on that and hope you can inspire me on that. Currently, I work on two projects at the Human Rights Law Research Center of Bilgi University. One is on victim-offender mediation, the other relates to fight against racism and xenophobia. All the best,
Burcu

THanks very much; this article of yours may help me a lot, especially in the time when I am really struggling to give my political Science-related thesis an Anthropological look. I am really running out of days but my dissertation outline is not getting anthropological shape. If you find more articles on this subject do share with me. You can send to me directly on my hotmail address sahargul@hotmail.com
Thanks very much once more.
