Call for Contributions
Dear Researchers,
The Alevi Encyclopedia is a digital platform dedicated to providing accurate and comprehensive information about Alevism. Its mission is to preserve and convey Alevi culture to future generations by presenting it within the conceptual and emotional framework of the Alevi society. This platform aims to safeguard, promote, and share the history, culture, and beliefs of Alevism with broader audiences in a holistic and accessible manner.
The primary objective of the Alevi Encyclopedia is to offer the Alevi community and the global public with a reliable, multifaceted source of information, enrich Alevi cultural memory on a scientific foundation, and protect it against external interference. In doing so, it seeks to establish a lasting knowledge platform and serve as a point of resistance against the multifaceted manipulations and erasures targeting Alevi culture.
