Syrian Kurds and Politics of Citizenship: Between Statelessness and Displacement
Focusing on life narratives of stateless Kurds from Syria in Sweden and Germany, I critically examine politics of citizenship between home and exile interrogating 'solutions' to the problem of statelessness
. Grounded in stateless standpoint epistemology, my study aims to unpack (the legacy of) statelessness within the current context of forced migration and its socio-political impact on constructions of identity and belonging.
Theoretically I draw from theories of citizenship, forced migration, standpoint epistemology and identity.
