Keynote at Ankara Congress 27-30 August 2026
Prof. Peter Mayo delivered the keynote talk on Thursday 27 August 2026 at the Education Congress of Türkiye's oldest national Education union E臒itim Sen. The congress centred on the theme of Democratic Education.
Prof. Mayo addressed the assigned theme of Prospects for Democratic Education in times of Neoliberalism and current global crisis.
He addressed this issue in the context of the present day rise of Fascism. Throughout the conference he constantly autographed copies, held by participants, of his five books translated and published in Turkish to date. Participants at the Ankara congress came from all over Türkiye and other parts of Europe, including Ireland, Portugal and Spain.
Prof. Mayo has frequently been an invited speaker to Türkiye, often as guest of E臒itim Sen. His works have been translated into Turkish including articles of his which appeared in Turkish academic journals and newspapers such as Sol and Bir Gün.
In 2009 he was Visiting Professor at Bo臒aziçi University, Istanbul.
