I am a PhD candidate at Sociology of Education and Culture (SEC) at Uppsala University, Sweden. My doctoral dissertation analyzes the educational dispositions of refugee families in Sweden by questioning the conversion of assets in transnational contexts and how it functions in the case of statelessness. My interests include ethnic studies, migration studies, and displacement as I attempt to bridge migration studies with the sociology of education using the case of Kurds who fled the Syrian war and reside in Sweden. Previously, I was awarded a masters’ degree analyzing the educational strategies of the same group in the Turkish context. I am a member of the working research group Education and Migration at Uppsala University, and a PhD representative of the standing committee “Education and Social Inequality” as a member of International Migration, Integration and Social Cohesion in Europe (IMISCOE), where I am organizing a panel on refugee education during the 18th annual conference.
