About
I am a Ph.D Candidate in the Department of Middle East, South Asia, and African Studies at Columbia University. My dissertation is on the international legal history of Muslim sovereignty claims in the 19th century. I am tracing the biopoliticization of Islamic political discourses and the aporetic structure of Muslim nationalism through a study of sites of emergency in the century of nationalist uprisings.
Besides the scholarship, I have been an editor for the Turkish publisher Açılım Kitap since 2011. Education
