INTRODUCTION
This catalog contains a short introduction to Erciyes University's faculties, departments and centers
which wish to carry out national and international joint research.
Erciyes University (ERU) was founded in 1978 under the name of Kayseri University. The Gevher Nesibe
Medical Faculty, which was opened as an affiliate of Hacettepe University, Ankara, in 1969 and the
Kayseri Business Administration Faculty, founded in 1977, constituted the nucleus of ERU. The other two
higher education institutes, the Theology Institute, founded in 1967, and Kayseri State Higher Education
Academy, founded in 1977, were incorporated into the university as the Faculty of Theology and the
Faculty of Engineering, respectively, in 1982 when its name changed to Erciyes University. The name of
the university was inspired by Mount Erciyes, which lies 15 kilometers to the south-west of the university
and is 3,917 meters high. The university has 16 faculties, 8 vocational colleges, 7 graduate programs, 5
departments, 22 research centers, and a highly developed research hospital with 1,350 beds.

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY
The Department of Sociology was officially founded in 2003 and initiated its
academic activities in 2005. The department began to offer a master’s program in
2006 while offering related courses at bachelor degree level in other departments of
the university. The Department of Sociology will begin to offer an undergraduate
program in the 2012-2013 academic year. The department now consists of 6 faculty
members: 1 professor, 1 associate professor, 1 assistant professor, 2 lecturers, and 1
research assistant.
SHORT
DESCRIPTION
In addition to its main function of education, the department also wishes to serve as
a research center. Our department has achieved a solid technical infrastructure for
research by using resources obtained from research projects. The department offers
laptops, voice recorders, professional photographic equipment, and a professional
scanner which can be used in research projects by faculty and graduate students.
The personal book collection of Prof. Dr. Beylü Dikeçligil, the Chair, is also available
to faculty and graduate students and consists of a considerable number of books and
academic journals. The department invites professors from other universities to
offer a variety of courses in order that graduate students might benefit from
alternative approaches and experience different academic milieus.
Our department strives to enhance theoretical accumulation in the field of
methodology while also using a variety of research techniques in research projects
to ground these theoretical formulations in a more concrete manner. This also
creates opportunities for our graduate students as well, since they take key roles in
these projects in order to improve their research abilities and to acquire experience.
RESEARCH
AREAS AND
RESEARCH
INTERESTS
Visual Sociology is another major research area in our department. The department
offers courses and uses various research techniques specific to this area of study in
order to enhance its methodological capabilities. The Department of Sociology
considers visual materials as having potential to constitute an essential part of the
data gathered in field research, rather than as being merely supplementary. Our
department is ready for academic collaboration with partners around the world
related with the research interests explained above. The Department of Sociology
focuses on the urban and the social with a special emphasis upon culture, economy
and collective memory. Being located in Kayseri, one of the most rapidly growing
cities in Turkey and also a significant historical site, our department has a special
opportunity to investigate these issues from a comparative and historical
perspective.
This academic collaboration can be both theoretical and practical; that is, partners
can organize conferences and symposiums and carry out comparative research
projects. The faculty members and graduate students in partner institutions could
give seminars for information exhange and communication with regard to
prospective research projects.

be able to offer a Ph.D. program in English Literature in the near future. The
teaching personnel in the department have established themselves academically
by publishing continuously in scholarly journals in linguistic and literary studies.
The main areas of research in the department are English Literary History,
Literary Criticism, English Drama, Poetry and Prose as well as American Literary
Studies. Moreover, some members of the faculty have conducted research and
published studies in areas of linguistics and foreign language education as well.
Due to its broad areas of research and rich course offerings, it is possible for the
department to make collaborative agreements with departments of English
Literature, English Linguistics and Foreign Language Education all around the
world. Presently, the department has three such agreements with the
Universidad de Jaen in Spain, Aristotle University in Salonica and Jagiellanian
University in Portugal. Currently, there is one ongoing research project being

The Women’s Studies Research and Implementation Center supports all scientific
activities that are related with women’s issues and aims to gather scholars from all
disciplines studying in the field. The center gives special importance to field studies
carried out in the region, and in Turkey in general. However, the center also
considers theoretical discussions in women’s studies as having key significance in
the development of the women’s movement. Thus, the center also supports
theoretical research and agendas. Our center is ready for collaboration in all
research projects that are related with women’s issues. For this purpose, the
center is organized so as to gather scholars from many disciplines and to benefit
from a variety of technical infrastructures in the academic departments of our
university. This makes us a very flexible center in considering the subject of
prospective research projects. Women’s studies have a universal quality in contrast
to many other fields of study : women from all around the world cope with similar
problems. Thus, the collaboration of scholars from different countries has much
more importance and meaning when it comes to women’s studies. Therefore, our
center puts great significance on international collaboration and considers this as
one of its main objectives.
The Women’s Studies Research and Implementation Center considers some
research subjects as having priority over others. Among these are Women and
Violence, Child-Brides and Child-Mothers, the Participation of Women in NGOs,
Women’s Health and Women Entrepreneurs.

HIGH ALTITUDE AND SPORTS SCIENCES RESEARCH AND
IMPLEMENTATION CENTER
Although Turkey is geographically suitable for altitude physiology and mountain
sports, there is no high altitude research center in the country. The only center
established for this purpose is our university’s complex on Mount Erciyes.The
center was established for research purposes many years ago, but it was
reestablished for scientific research activities in 2009. We believe that these
activities and its contact with centers abroad will help to meet the scientfic deficit
in our country. In addition, it will also significantly contribute to the introduction
of the subject in our country. Research activities to be conducted in the center
will be beneficial for the health problems of those living at higher altitudes, not
only in our region but also countrywide; they will also contribute to the scientific
improvement of health and performances of various sports teams and groups
who are willing to increase their performances by camping at high altitudes.The
aim of the center is to plan and conduct research based on information
production on high altitude and sports sciences, to investigate the effects of high
altitude and hypoxia on cardiopulmonary functions, organize
meetings,
symposiums and congresses on this matter, prepare publications, collect data
and make announcements in the fields of altitude – mountain sports – health, and
education. Two professors, four associate professors and one research assistant
are currently working as academic staff in the research center.
