Ozlem Goner (Assistant Professor) received her Ph.D. in Sociology from University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where she taught courses on Political Sociology and Sociological Theory. Her research interests focus on comparative and historical sociology, ethnographies of the state, race and ethnicity, social movements, qualitative methods, and classical, postcolonial and feminist theory. She contributes to existing research by examining the relationships between the historical and everyday productions of the state and the construction of oppositional movements and identities. She continues to explore how the state and movements simultaneously produce and mobilize different forms of history in the making of national and outsider identities.
