Associate Professor of Sociology Yesim Bayar recently published "Engagements with the Past and Armenians' Settlement Journeys in Canada" in the Canadian Review of Sociology. Bayar’s article examines the pre- and post-migration experiences of Armenians from Turkey to Canada by focusing on state-minority relations.
Yesim participated as a discussant on the "Syrian Refugees in Turkey" panel at the annual convention of the Association for the Study of Nationalities in New York City this past May 2023. She also was the commentator on a special book panel where she discussed Hans-Lukas Kieser’s book When Democracy Died. The panel was part of a workshop organized by the Keyman Institute of Global Affairs at Northwestern University on the "Afterlives of Lausanne: Society, Politics and Belonging after Empire."
