Research

My current project explores how Turkish migrants in the Netherlands navigate their identities in a changing society. The study examines how diverse identities within the diaspora interact with Dutch secularism and nationalism, shaping experiences of belonging, participation, and integration. By highlighting diverse perspectives, the project provides new insights into integration, social cohesion, and multicultural life in the Netherlands.

Fields of interest

Migration and diaspora studies; Turkish diaspora in the Netherlands, nationalism and secularism; transnationalism, and integration.
