Educational and Scholarly
Focus
At the core of the Institute’s
efforts to improve understanding between Americans
and Kurds is the promotion of educational and
scholarly opportunities relating to the Kurds.
In view of the fact that Kurds and Americans will
have increasingly important interactions throughout
the twenty-first century, it will be critical
to both societies to have a heightened awareness
of and knowledge about each other’s culture,
standard of living, beliefs, and customs.
Thus, two of the primary objectives
of the Institute for Kurds are to include Kurdish
studies in appropriate American institutions and
to increase the quality and access to American
studies within Kurdistan. In order to do so, the
Institute conducts a number of activities ranging
from visiting universities to make presentations
about Kurds to providing educational grants to
aid those interested in furthering Kurdish scholarship.
