Emre Basok is a Turkish-born Circassian pursuing his PhD in Ohio.  He studies how language supports identity and heritage and has recently turned his interests to his roots. He comes in as the third of our Circassian guest this summer and brings even more depth to the textured and colorful history of the Circassian diaspora.  Emre’s passion for his own heritage but also his genuine concern for linguistic vitality for all peoples comes across loud and clear.
