About the Project

Project term: April, 2024–March, 2027

This project combines ethnographic/sociological field research methods with historical documentary investigation to inquire into sociocultural and sociopolitical dynamics within the border regions in Iran, Iraq, and Turkey. It aims to conduct theoretically informed investigations into everyday forms of ethnicity and religiosity in the divided but interconnected Kurdistan regions. Besides comparative historical analysis, boundary processual and network (or structural) analyses are among the primary theoretical paradigms that this project seeks to build itself on.
