https://www.academia.edu/128118858/The_Rise_and_Fall_of_Turkish_Studies_at_Utrecht_University_The_Context_of_Hendrik_Boeschoten_s_Early_Career A brief history of Turkish Studies and the Department of Oriental Languages and Cultures at Utrecht University, where the turcologist, linguist and philologist Rik Boeschoten began his career. The Department flourished for a brief period in the 1980s and 1990s, partly in response to the presence of a large immigrant community in the Netherlands, and partly in response to the opening up and breaking up of the Soviet Union.
