{"id":593,"name":"Sara Kermanian","url":"","description":"Sara Kermanian is a PhD candidate and doctoral tutor in the Department of International Relations at the University of Sussex. Her research interests lie at the intersection of political theory and international relations, with a focus on theories of time, [geo]political imaginations, alternative imaginations, sovereignty and subjectivity, power and resistance. Her geographical focus is on Middle Eastern [geo]politics, particularly when related to Kurdistan, Turkey, and Iran. \r\n\r\nHer PhD thesis offers a framework for understanding the intertwined construction of social and international imaginaries that challenges the methodological reliance of both mainstream and postcolonial perceptions of the international order on the West-Rest dualism. She explores this inquiry in the context of the contrasting but interrelated emergence of democratic confederalism and neo-Ottomanism.","link":"https:\/\/nlka.net\/eng\/author\/sara-kermanian\/","slug":"sara-kermanian","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1a011a0ef1492120213ecbb2514cf82a77204f3c2486c5d89fbdcc9c9ea90601?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1a011a0ef1492120213ecbb2514cf82a77204f3c2486c5d89fbdcc9c9ea90601?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1a011a0ef1492120213ecbb2514cf82a77204f3c2486c5d89fbdcc9c9ea90601?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nlka.net\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/593","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nlka.net\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
