TEMP’s second workshop brought together students from Dr. Faika Çelik’s class at Manisa Celal Bayar University in Türkiye and the doctoral students in Dr. Ipek Türeli’s Fall 2025 ARCH 711/712 Proseminar at the Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture at �鶹��ý��վ. Throughout the semester, the �鶹��ý��վ doctoral students worked with oral history interviews from the TEMP website—first by closely analyzing an interview of their choice, and then by developing a research-creation project grounded in that material.

During the workshop, Dr. Çelik’s students presented their experiences conducting interviews and shared additional insights about their interviewees. The ARCH 711/712 students, in turn, engaged with these presentations by posing prepared questions and discussing connections to their own developing projects.

On February 8, 2026, Fatma Özdoğan led a workshop at the Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan for the third anniversary of the 2023 earthquakes in Southeastern Anatolia. The event brought together scholars based in Japan who have conducted, or are currently conducting, research on a range of disaster-related topics, including disaster education, risk governance, housing recovery, and memory studies. Özdoğan introduced and discussed the TEMP project, situating it within broader conversations on post‑disaster knowledge and community memory. The program featured several presentations followed by a roundtable discussion that invited comparative perspectives and dialogue across research contexts.
