Methodological Approaches in Kurdish Studies: Theoretical and Practical Insights from the Field LSE Middle East Centre Podcasts

    • Education

This event launches the book Methodological Approaches in Kurdish Studies: Theoretical and Practical Insights from the Field. It is a volume that presents thirteen contributions that reflect upon the practical, ethical, theoretical and methodological challenges that researchers face when conducting fieldwork in settings that are characterized with deteriorating security situations, increasing state control and conflicting inter-ethnic relations. More precisely, they shed light to the intricacies of conducting fieldwork on highly politicized and sensitive topics in the region of Kurdistan in Iraq, Syria and Turkey as well as among Kurdish diaspora members in Europe.

Bahar Baser is associate professor at the Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations, Coventry University.

Yasin Duman is a Ph.D. candidate at the Center for Trust, Peace, and Social Relations (CTPSR), Coventry University. His research focuses on the role of intergroup relations in the integration of Syrian refugees in Turkey.

Begüm Zorlu is a PhD candidate and a teaching assistant in the department of International Politics at City, University of London. Her research focuses on political parties and contentious politics in Latin America and the Middle East.

Francis O’Connor is a post-doctoral researcher at the Peace Research Institute in Frankfurt. His research focuses on social movements and civil wars.

Marc Sinan Winrow is a PhD candidate in International Relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Zeynep Kaya is a Research Fellow at the LSE Middle East Centre. She is part of the UK DFID-Funded Conflict Research Programme and is leading projects on gendered drivers of conflict in Iraq, the impact of genocide on the Yazidi community, responses to internal displacement in Iraqi Kurdistan,

This event is part of the Kurdish Studies Series at the LSE Middle East Centre.
