We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Prof. Dr. Sevda Çalışkan, who was a faculty member of our Department from 1988 to 2003.

Prof. Dr. Sevda Çalışkan taught and influenced countless students, including many of the active faculty members of our Department today. She was an awe-inspiring professor, a dedicated, outstanding literary scholar, a principled intellectual, and a meticulous translator.

Our thoughts in this sad time are with her family, friends, colleagues, and students, who will sorely miss her impressive personality and inspiring guidance.

May she rest in peace.
