Karen-Claire Voss is Adjunct Professor of Humanities at San Jose State University where she taught for five years. After doing doctoral research in France for two years, she came to Istanbul in 1994. Now an independent scholar, she is some-time speaker at academic conferences in Europe and author of numerous articles on topics ranging from imagination and mysticism to philosophy of education. She is translator of Basarab Nicolescu's Manifesto of Trandisciplinarity (State University of New York Press, 2001) and is writing a book about alchemy and a major essay discussing methodological issues in the field of esotericism.

Somewhat to her surprise, Karen-Claire has fallen completely under the spell of Turkey. Now, passionately interested in traditional Turkish culture, especially music and dance, she is working on a collection of short stories partly inspired by her experience here that she plans to bring out in a volume called Istanbul? Yes, Istanbul.

Articles 1-16 were all written for the now defunct Istanbull… magazine. Watch out for new articles every month here, at Istanbul Life, beginning in April.
