About
I studied Sociology and History at the universities of Groningen, Utrecht, Toronto, and Amsterdam, where I gained an interdisciplinary MA in Holocaust and Genocide Studies (summa cum laude) in 2005. I continued my research at the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies and the University of Amsterdam, where I defended my Ph.D. in June 2009 (summa cum laude). In October 2007 I attended the Global Conference on the Prevention of Genocide at McGill University (Montréal) as an International Young Leader. In 2008-09 I was Lecturer of International History at the Department of History of the University of Sheffield. In 2009-2010 I was Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the Centre for War Studies of University College Dublin, to which I am still externally affiliated regarding a project revolving around paramilitary violence.
My main area of interest is the historical sociology of mass violence and nationalism. I have written on mass violence in general, the Holocaust, and the Rwandan and Armenian genocides in particular. My Ph.D. thesis is published as: "The Making of Modern Turkey: Nation and State in Eastern Anatolia, 1913-1950" (Oxford University Press, 2011).
Currently I am Assistant Professor at the Department of History at Utrecht University and Researcher at the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies.
