Author Biography

  • A. Ebru Akcasu

    A. Ebru Akcasu is a historian whose work examines the social, legal, and political transformations of the pivotal and tumultuous decades spanning the end of the Ottoman Empire through the drawing of post-World War I borders in the Middle East. Her publications have traced the continuities and ruptures of inclusion and exclusion with an emphasis on legal and affective belonging across imperial-post-imperial space and time, often centering gender and migration. 

    Dr. Akcasu received her PhD in Near and Middle Eastern Studies from SOAS, University of London, in 2017. She holds a BA in History (California State University, San Jose), an MA in History with a concentration in Modern Europe and a minor in Modern World History (California State University, San Francisco), and an MA in the History of the Modern Middle East (SOAS, University of London).
