Oral Histories
The oral history interviews featured in this project have been conducted by undergraduate students in the Department of Political Science and International Relations at Manisa Celal Bayar University, as part of two courses offered by Assistant Professor Faika Celik: Research Methods and History, Memory and Politics. These interviews were carried out under Dr. Celik's supervision, within the framework of class-based research projects, and in accordance with ethical approval granted by Manisa Celal Bayar University. The students’ commitment, diligence, and intellectual curiosity have been central to the success of this project, and their contributions are gratefully acknowledged. Additionally, we would like to thank the interviewees who generously shared their stories and experiences, without whom this project would not have been possible.
