I hold a Masters’ degree from Aarhus University, where I have a major in Arabic and Islamic Studies and a minor in Psychology. I am a Ph.D.-fellow at the Department of Communication and Arts at Roskilde University (IKH). I am a board member of Ph.D. Association of Roskilde University (PARU), and RU’s Research Committee (FoU).
I am enrolled in Cultural Encounters, and my PhD.-project is about why Somali-diaspora from the Western countries increasingly chooses to migrate and resettle to Turkey. To explore these complex mobility patterns that challenges sedentarism and state-centered vision of social inequality, I will empirically and theoretically draw on a Bordieuan lens of understanding power and culture, postcolonial feminist theory and a transnational lens.
As a Somali woman of Somali descent living with and sharing” the others” local repertoire of cultural markers and identity, the autoethnography is my methodology for operationalizing the research. I will therefore base my research on anthropological fieldwork, qualitative interviews, participant observation and autoethnographic methodology. From February to June 2021, I have been conducting my first empirical data in Istanbul & Ankara.
I teach and publish in the areas of diasporic cultures, ethnicity and minority studies, the welfare state, transnational ties, migration and mobility, post-migration movements, gender, globalization, decolonial studies, racialization, and postcolonialism.
