I am really looking forward to our podcast episode with Dr. Sefa Secen that will take place on April 27th at 9am Eastern US Time. Secen is a postdoctoral fellow at the Mershon Center for International Security Studies and a research fellow on the Islamic Family Law Index Project. He received his Ph.D. in Political Science from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University in July 2022. His general research interests include forced migration, human and minority rights, international security, the Middle East, and qualitative and multi-method research. In particular, he studies the politics of forced migration with a focus on the social construction of threat and security perceptions. His research has been published in the Journal of Global Security Studies, European Politics and Society, Muslim World Journal of Human Rights, and Forced Migration Review. He has also written in the Washington Post’s Made by History blog and E-International Relations.
