“From Konya to Europe and Back: Kurdish Identity, Migration, and Diaspora Politics in Central Anatolia”

This talk explores how migration from Konya’s Kurdish districts to Europe has reshaped Kurdish identity both in the diaspora and in the communities of origin, showing how transnational ties, political activism, and emotional belonging circulate across borders.

Dr. Haci Cevik is a post-doctoral researcher at the Berlin Institute for Empirical Integration and Migration Research (BIM) at Humboldt University in Germany, funded by the Einstein Foundation. He earned his PhD from Hacettepe University in the Department of Social Work, specializing in Migration Studies. His book, Are There Kurds in Konya? Central Anatolian Kurds and the Politicization of Kurdish Identity, was published by İletişim Yayınları in 2021. His current research focuses on ethnic politics, Kurdish studies, collective identity, diaspora, and migration.
