My research project, "State-building and Control in Borderlands (SCB)," is the first that aims to understand and explain formal andinformal control mechanisms through an examination of people's territorial experiences in the Kurdish borderlands of Turkey. In thisinnovative and interdisciplinary research, I use the case of Turkey's borderlands with Iraq, Iran, and Syria to explore everyday practicesof state-making at the local level in war-torn borders and borderlands. The question of state control through networks aroundterritoriality addresses the complex imperatives of political, economic, cultural, demographic, and judicial practices of state-buildingover the property regime of land. It does this through examining state practices such as land registration and cadastral procedures onthe promotion of settlement policies, border policies, displacement, new village creation, and landscape nationalization. Thequestion, therefore, is: How are the Turkish state's authority and legitimacy in its borderlands shaped by the complex relationshipsbetween territorial control measures, competing claims over authority by different groups, and people's everyday experiences? Usingmixed methods, including process-tracing, multi-sited ethnography, and qualitative interviews with villagers, internally displacedpeople, activists, lawyers, and state officials in Turkey's Kurdish borderlands, the SCB unpacks people's territorial experiences byunpacking the narratives of, and emotions about, land and property. In particular, the gendered dynamics of the relationshipbetween the state, people, and land will be mapped, filling an important gap in the existing literature. This innovative topic adds vitalscholarship to political science and diaspora studies, both in its methods and its subject. Such an empirically rich study will beimportant for policymakers, scholars, and practitioners committed to peace and conflict studies.

我的研究项目，“国家建设和控制在边境地区（SCB），”是第一个，旨在了解和解释正式和非正式的控制机制，通过在土耳其的库尔德边境地区的人的领土经验的检查。在这一创新和跨学科的研究中，我使用土耳其与伊拉克，伊朗和叙利亚边境的案例来探索在饱受战争蹂躏的边境和边境地区的地方层面上的国家决策的日常实践。国家通过网络控制领土的问题解决了复杂的政治，经济，文化，人口和司法实践的国家建设对土地财产制度。它通过审查国家的做法，如土地登记和地籍程序，促进定居政策，边境政策，流离失所，新的村庄建设和景观国有化。因此，问题是：领土控制措施、不同群体对权力的竞争要求以及人们的日常经历之间的复杂关系如何塑造了土耳其国家在其边境地区的权威和合法性？SCB使用混合方法，包括过程追踪，多地点民族志，以及对土耳其库尔德边境地区的村民，国内流离失所者，活动家，律师和国家官员的定性采访，通过解开土地和财产的叙述和情感来解开人们的领土经历。特别是，国家，人民和土地之间的关系的性别动态将被映射，填补了现有文献中的一个重要空白。这个创新主题无论是在方法还是主题上都为政治学和侨民研究增添了重要的学术价值。这样一个经验丰富的研究对致力于和平与冲突研究的政策制定者、学者和实践者来说非常重要。
