Обо мне

I am a Kurdish Canadian scholar/academic originally form Kurdistan Region - Iraq. After over nearly twenty long years of educational journey in the fields of social, legal and political sciences of the European and North American scholarship traditions, researching and answering questions central to my disciplines of study, I, at the PhD level turned my attention to the study of Kurdish and Kurdistan society, and the Middle East.
 
Two most pertinent queries in the field research about study of Kurdish and Kurdistan society, and the Middle East I encountered are: practices of knowledge production in Kurdish and Middle Eastern Studies Scholarships, and the question of Kurdish state-formation and the division of Kurdistan (Kurdistan proper). I first encountered the term Kurdistan proper (Bruinssen, 1994).

I have two ongoing projects about the Middle East and Kurdistan:
 

Practices of Knowledge Production in Kurdish and Middle Eastern Studies Scholarships

Scholars are endowed with the responsibility to produce accurate, responsible and justifiable knowledge grounded in the realities of their discoveries. Scholars and academics discover realities, which are either fact, constructed, and/or invented through social, economic and political practices. My paper applies epistemological-ontology of the present to Kurdish Studies and Middle Eastern Scholarships to investigate the ways in which accurate knowledge of Kurdish and Kurdistan society has been distorted through ‘unjust’ policies of ‘denial, repression, exploitation and peripheralization’.
 
Many of the practices designed for the governance of Kurdish society attest to injustice and distortion of accurate knowledge of Kurdish and Kurdistan society. These ‘unjust practices’ may not always be malpractices of administrators, government agencies, practitioners and decision makers about who gets what, where, when, how and why. My paper argues that academics and scholars must bear a greater burden of proof and responsibility in production, interpretation and construction of knowledge. An example that my paper analyzes for examination of ‘just and unjust’ practices of knowledge production is ‘the Kurdish Question/Case’ through analysis of an inventory of different conceptualization of the Kurdish Question in relation to the local, regional and global political rationalities in four main periods.
 
This inventory explains the ways in which ‘the Kurdish Question/Case’ has been described differently in different periods, and explains three main malpractices of mischaracterization of ‘the Kurdish Question/Case’ in Kurdish Studies and Middle Eastern Scholarships. My purpose is to present ‘the Kurdish Question/Case’ as accurate as possible and invite scholarly attention to rethink the ways in which ‘the Kurdish Question/Case’ has been characterized in the scholarly literature. This engagement helps better categorization, classification, characterization and historical periodization of the Kurdish Question, culture and identity in Kurdish Studies and in Middle Eastern scholarships.

State Formation and Sovereignty in Middle East
 
The division of Kurdistan, a historic and a geographic region, between the semi-sovereign states of Iraq, Iran, Turkey and Syria after the end of First World War excluded Kurds from the right to full ‘citizenship’ and the right to a Kurdish state ‘a homeland’. These states governed Kurds and Kurdistan through most repressive techniques of political economy, apparatuses of security, and communication technology. Kurds challenged these states’ exercise of sovereign right over Kurdistan, and they deemed the borderline drawn between parts of Kurdistan unjust, against rules of natural law, natural justice, and cause of instability to Kurdish and Kurdistan society. In the present, most democratic member states of the international community favour a lasting settlement to the Kurdish Question through the foundation of Kurdish right to a sovereign ‘homeland’.
 
What is sovereignty? Sovereignty is a Westphalian conceptualization of ‘juridical-political-social’ autonomous administrative structure founded on non-intervention principle. Any empirical and, or, imagined engagement with sovereignty needs to be realized in the context of its domain time, space and its people, citizens. Time and space history and geography-territory are critical for the realization of sovereignty. They are indication of sovereign’s period-duration, province and allocation of the right to citizenship for its residents.
 
The passage of Westphalian sovereignty begun after the end of the Cold War, and practices of post-sovereignty in the Middle East emerged. Post-sovereignty is a global governance model. It is synonymous to post-colonialism, cosmopolitics and diaspora. It is an approach and a practice concurrent with the emergence of globalization, global governance of the fragile and failed states through defence, diplomacy, prevention of refugee exodus, humanitarian intervention in conflict areas, and development through aid. Has the emergence of post-sovereignty in the Middle East contributed to improvement of justice, human rights, stability and inclusive societies?

Abstract proposal submited to MESA - KSA on 12/02/2010:
Everyday Practices of Knowledge Production in Kurdish and Middle Eastern Studies Scholarships *
Scholars are endowed with the responsibility to produce accurate, responsible and justifiable knowledge grounded in the realities of their discoveries. Scholars and academics discover realities, which are either fact, constructed, and/or invented through social, economic and political practices. My project applies epistemological-ontology of the present to Kurdish Studies and Middle Eastern Scholarships to investigate the possible ways in which accurate knowledge of Kurdish and Kurdistan society has been distorted through ‘unjust’ policies of ‘denial, repression, exploitation and peripheralization’.
Many of the everyday academic practices designed for the production of knowledge of Kurdish society attest to injustice and distortion of accurate knowledge of Kurdish and Kurdistan society. These ‘unjust practices’ are partly malpractices of administrators, government agencies, practitioners and decision makers of Kurdish and Kurdistan society about who gets what, where, when, how and why. Academics and scholars must bear a greater burden of proof and responsibility in production, interpretation and construction of knowledge. An example that my paper analyzes is the examination of ‘just and unjust’ practices of knowledge production of ‘the Kurdish Question/Case’. The paper will focus on reading and analyzing of different conceptualization of the Kurdish Question in relation to the local, regional and global political rationalities in four main periods.
The paper presents evidence and explains the ways in which ‘the Kurdish Question/Case’ has been described differently in different the four periods contain three main malpractices and mischaracterization of ‘the Kurdish Question/Case’ in Kurdish Studies and Middle Eastern Scholarships. The purpose of this project is to present ‘the Kurdish Question/Case’ as accurate as possible, invite academic and scholarly attention to rethink and reconstitute the ways in which ‘the Kurdish Question/Case’ has been characterized in the scholarly literature. This project helps accurate categorization, classification, characterization and historical periodization of the Kurdish Question, Kurdish and Kurdistan society in Kurdish Studies and in Middle Eastern scholarships.
