2013 has been a year that brought global attention to Turkey's "others" as popular protests erupted throughout the country in early summer. But the mobilizations of the present moment both encapsulate and extend beyond Gezi Park. In this multi-disciplinary panel, four noted scholars will explore multiple facets of the summer Gezi protests; the Kurdish and the LGBT movements; and the broad possibilities, individually and collectively, of Turkey's pluralistic movements of resistance.
