Sevim Akten’s academic life started in 1968 at the Department of French Language and Literature, Faculty of Letters, Atatürk University, from which she retired in 2011. Her 43-year-long academic life comprises various courses taught and a great number of academic studies published on issues related to education, literature and translation. Following on the footsteps of Prof. Dr. Bedrettin Tuncel, her doctoral thesis advisor, and Prof. Dr. Tahsin Yücel, her Associate Professorship Jury Member, she has herself become a source of inspiration for her students and many young researchers with her vast knowledge and experience. A modest, honest and hardworking scientist, she produced studies on various aspects of French philology, sharing her knowledge and experience with her undergraduate and graduate students, and fellow academics. She received an honour award at the 8th National Francophonie Congress, held at Namık Kemal University on the 16the – 18th of May, 2012, for her enormous contribution to the development of French studies and Francophonie organizations in Turkey. We, as Humanitas editors, as well as her colleagues and above all her students, are happy to commemorate and express our sincere respect and cordiality, and above all our gratitude to Sevim Akten on her 70th birthday with this special issue of our Journal.
