Ovgu Ulgen is a Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Montreal. In her dissertation, which has been funded by FRQSC (Québec research funding) and IRTG Diversity, she sought to understand immigrant belonging at the intersection of language and religion. She examined how societal particularities of Montréal and Toronto embedded in the processes of negotiating the difference and created a complex relation between language and religion. She explored how the lived experiences of immigrants differed from one another and what it said about interculturalism and multiculturalism in Canada. She further looked at how relations between immigrants and the majority groups and inter and intra-ethnic relations formed and transformed in these processes. Her analysis of the relation between language and religion made it possible to make sense of the continuing salience of religion in the “post-secular” age in Canada, specifically, how cultural religion emerged as an important determinant of immigrant boundary making in the communities she interviewed, especially in Québec. She holds an MA degree in Sociology from the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS) in Paris. In her M.A. research, which was awarded a scholarship, she focused on forced migration, collective memory, and urban politics in a neighborhood of Istanbul, Turkey.
