Research Professor of the Faculty of Oriental Studies Delivered a Speech at an International Conference under the Auspices of UNESCO

On September 29, 2026, the International Centre for the Rapprochement of Cultures under the auspices of UNESCO hosted the IX International Conference in Support of the Culture of Knowledge, titled "Intellectual History of Central Asia in the Second Half of the 20th Century," dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the prominent Kazakh poet and public figure Olzhas Suleimenov.

Laura Yerekesheva, Research Professor at the Faculty of Oriental Studies, participated in this prestigious international gathering, delivering one of the conference's key scholarly presentations.

In her presentation, Professor Laura Yerekesheva thoroughly examined the extensive topic "Nomadic Space and Markers of Cultural Identity: The Conjunction of Concepts by Olzhas Suleimenov and Gilles Deleuze – Félix Guattari." By correlating Olzhas Suleimenov's philosophical and historical insights with the works of world-renowned thinkers, she offered a novel scientific perspective on the cultural codes of nomadic civilization.

Professor Laura Yerekesheva's substantive presentation on this authoritative international platform made a significant contribution to strengthening the ties of domestic Oriental studies and humanities on the global arena, as well as to promoting the rich heritage of Olzhas Suleimenov from a fresh perspective.
