My name is Candace Mixon and I am a PhD student at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. My research is on Islam and religious movements. I was in Turkey this summer to work with a Sufi group there, led by Cemalnur Sargut. Sufis are often said to practice “mystical” Islam, however, we can just say there is a great focus on prayer and spirituality in Sufi Islam. I travelled around the country visiting special religious sites, such as Cappadocia, Bursa, Konya, and Istanbul, and then spent a lot of time in Istanbul visiting mosques and attending a variety of religious places throughout the big city.
My name is Emily Piper, and I am a senior at UNC-Chapel Hill, studying Journalism and Political Science. Last semester, from February 13th-June 13th, I studied abroad at Bogazici Universitesi in Istanbul, Turkey. From my time in Turkey, I have compiled any and all information that I think is pertinent to developing an understanding of Turkey.
