Åžehrazat G. Mart
Şehrazat’s research and teaching focus on power and social change. Her primary research examines social mobilization during democratic backsliding, while her second research agenda examines exclusion in transnational knowledge production, including within academia.
Currently, she is working on a book manuscript, titled At What Cost? The Strategic and Moral Dilemmas of Anti-Authoritarian Struggle. Through the case of a student movement in Turkey, this manuscript examines why social movements fracture under repression, finding that activists interpret political risk differently through distinct intergenerational lenses.
As an educator, Åžehrazat brings her research into the classroom, equipping students with a global perspective and tools to tackle social problems.
