Armenian Schools in Contemporary Turkey: Governmentality, Community, ResilienceIn the grip of central examination systems, the marketization and privatization of schooling, regulations of a nation state which maintains its emphasis on its Turko-Islamic tenets, or the escalation of competition among students as an outcome of an endeavor to be incorporated into global job markets, the Armenian schools struggle to breed a nurturing soil for Armenian cultural sustainability while offering venues and opportunities in their power. I argue that the state of the Armenian schools indicates a paradox: although they are places of enculturation in which the wishes of the nation state almost always prevail; this does not ipso facto mean that latitude in education is fully encompassed by precepts of national education. The aim of this study is to unpack the broader educational field encapsulating the Armenian schools, and to paint a comprehensive picture which summarize their bureaucratic functioning, quotidian practices, daily predicaments, network of relationships, so that it could be possible to understand how self-meaning is produced in the schools. This attempt aims to unfold how the Armenian schools contribute to cultural empowerment as they endure as communal venues purveying means for cultural sustainability, whereas they are reproduced as spaces of exclusion since they are positioned at the periphery of the mainstream education system and subtly monitored by the Ministry of National Education.Only some of the qualifications I advanced during this process are: -Research Design-Selected and adapted qualitative methods, practices, and theories to perform analysis, interpret results, and document findings-Designed effective research strategies and gathered relevant information using primary and secondary sources and techniques-Developed analytical models, identified patterns and contradictions, evaluated limitations of data, and specified the range of results
