New Project Support from TÜBİTAK 3501 Program to Asst. Prof. Yener Koç

It is our distinct pleasure to announce that the project coordinated by Asst. Prof. Yener Koç from the Core Program and entitled “Animal Husbandry and Wealth Distribution among the Yörük and Tribe Communities of Western and Central Anatolia (1839-1876)” has been funded by TUBİTAK 3501 – National Young Researchers Career Development Program.

This project proposal focuses on animal husbandry among tribe and yörük communities of Western and Central Anatolia during the Tanzimat Period (1839-1876) of the Ottoman Empire. The project, from a comparative perspective, seeks to analyze livestock type (composition of the flock), amount of livestock (size of the flock), and the distribution of the livestock among the tribe and yörük communities of these regions within the context of commercialization of agriculture and animal husbandry and increasing state power. 

We congratulate our faculty member for his achievement and wish for the continuation of his success.
