Hilal Alkan is a researcher based at Leibniz Zentrum Moderner Orient Berlin. She completed her PhD at the Open University, UK. She conducted extensive ethnographic research with informal neighborhood organizations providing initial assistance to migrants and refugees in Istanbul. In another project she worked with Syrian refugees who lived in Turkey and then fled to Germany to comparatively understand the two migration contexts from the viewpoint of refugees themselves. Most recently, she is working on multispecies care in contexts of displacement and migration, with a particular focus on plants.
