The statelessness of such a major g roup in the post-Ottoman world led to their ontological insecurities in the hands of majority-led nation-states. Kurdish nationalism emerged as a reac tion to such ontological insecurities in the 20th century. This talk will d iscuss the emergence and contemporary variations of Kurdish nationalism at the nexus of ideology and geopolitics across the Middle East.\n\n\nSerhun A l is a visiting political scientist at the Ohio State University. His resea rch interests include nationalism\, ethnic conflict\, and security studies. He is the author of Patterns of Nationhood and Saving the State in Turkey (2019) and the co-editor of Comparative Kurdish Politics in the Middle East (2018).
