Lecturer in Ethnopolitics

I gained my PhD in Geopolitics at the University of Paris IV- Sorbonne in 2005. My PhD thesis adressed the question of the development of a Kurdish field of literature in the context of language conflict in Turkey. I graduated in Kurdish Language and Civilisation at the Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales in Paris in 2003. I taught there for few years in the Departments of Kurdish and Turkish languages and Civilisations. I joined the University of Exeter in September 2007 as a researcher for EXCEPS, the Exeter Centre for Ethno-Political Studies. I am member of the editorial board of the European Journal for Turkish Studies.
