Bio/Research
Kilicaslan has a multidisciplinary academic background in political science, public administration, international relations and sociology, She is committed to fostering dialogues between and across critical socio-legal studies, forced migration studies, social movement studies, feminist and gender studies and digital culture studies. More specifically, her research interests lie at the intersection of (1) critical forced migration studies, (2) refugee law and politics of citizenship and resettlement, (3) nation-state and border violence, (4) resistance and social movements in the Global South (particularly in the Middle East), and (5) digital activism and culture.
The first of her two ongoing projects is completing a book manuscript, tentatively titled Deprovincializing Kurdish Politics: Forced Migration and Activism Across Kurdistan, Turkey and Europe. The book looks at the impacts of the forced displacement of Kurds on the dynamics of Kurdish political mobilization in Northern Kurdistan, Turkey and Europe. Her second project comparatively explores the resettlement experiences of Yezidi genocide survivors and their mobilization strategies in Germany and Canada.
Her writings on Kurdish forced migrants, the Kurdish freedom movement, migrant agency, decolonial feminisms, gender-based online violence and digital feminist activism have appeared in scholarly books and journals.
