Professor MacLean is co-director of Exeter Turkish Studies. As a founding member of the Evliya Çelebi Way Project, he pursues research on historical reenactment and reconnection. The Evliya Çelebi Way Project promotes knowledge of the great Ottoman traveller Evliya Çelebi (1611-c.1683) and public awareness of Ottoman history, while developing trekking routes for sustainable tourism. In 2009 the Evliya team established the Evliya Çelebi Way by staging a 400 mile equestrian expedition in western Turkey following the route that Evliya described in his ten-volume Seyahatname, or ‘Book of Travels.’ In 2011 UNESCO named Evliya ‘Man of the Year,’ and the Turkish government approved the Evliya Çelebi Way as Turkey’s first equestrian cultural route.
