International Episode 29: Eymen (Türkiye)
<p>In this episode I speak with Dr Eymen Ekmen, an academic in Türkiye who completed his PhD in 2026, and whose research primarily focuses on migration, refugee studies, and Syrian refugees in Türkiye. Eymen places great emphasis on working with diverse cultures and conducting fieldwork in participants' native languages, and he himself speaks Arabic, English, Turkish, and Serbo-Croatian.</p><p><br></p><p>Links to resources mentioned in this week’s episode:</p><ul><li><p>Istanbul Arel University’s Social Work Department - <a href="https://arel.edu.tr/en/faculty-of-health-sciences-social-work/"><u>https://arel.edu.tr/en/faculty-of-health-sciences-social-work/</u></a></p></li><li><p>Eymen’s Google Scholar page - <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=_4wrMQoAAAAJ&hl=fr"><u>https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=_4wrMQoAAAAJ&hl=fr</u></a></p></li></ul><p><br></p><p>This episode's transcript can be viewed here: </p><p><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GtU6RDI94YmQ81tKkV7NNfA5DXh5LVT8gCi-bK9n5R0/edit?usp=sharing"><u>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GtU6RDI94YmQ81tKkV7NNfA5DXh5LVT8gCi-bK9n5R0/edit?usp=sharing</u></a></p><p><br></p><p>Thanks to Kevin Macleod of incompetech.com for our theme music.</p>
