As an anthropologist, my interests include Kurdish culture and history, the anthropology of policy, migration, anthropology of the Middle East, identity negotiation, conflict negotiation, and the human impacts of climate change. 
In understanding the complexities of human migration and the impact of immigration policies on refugees, asylum seekers, and other migrants. I am particularly interested in exploring how political divisions affect the experiences of these individuals, as well as the broader social and cultural implications of migration.
In recent years, immigration policies have become increasingly politicized, leading to a rise in anti-immigrant sentiment and the demonization of refugees and asylum seekers. Through my research, I aim to shed light on the realities of human migration, including the economic, social, and political factors that drive individuals to leave their homes and seek refuge elsewhere.
I am also interested in understanding how the process of seeking asylum and resettlement affects the identities and experiences of migrants, particularly as they navigate complex legal systems and often face discrimination and marginalization in their new communities. Ultimately, my goal is to contribute to a more nuanced and compassionate understanding of human migration, and to advocate for policies that prioritize the dignity and well-being of all individuals, regardless of their country of origin or legal status.
