Turkish Journal of Diaspora Studies

Turkish Journal of Diaspora Studies (TJDS) is a biannual, peer-reviewed academic journal and publishes articles in both English and Turkish. TJDS is motivated to make sufficient space for scholars across the globe who study a challenging subject traversing multiple disciplines and geographic borders. TJDS aims to create a platform in which the topic of diaspora in its broadest meaning finds room for dissenting voices, diachronic and critical perspectives, and dynamic debates from any point of view. TJDS aspires to broaden and deepen our understanding of diasporas in the worldwide scene and in the Turkish diaspora in particular, including empirically based studies in social sciences, as well as theoretical and historical studies. TJDS includes intersecting topics in humanities, in particular, politics, international relations, postcolonial inquiries, spatial studies, economics, security studies, electoral analysis, religious studies, gender research, disability studies, digital humanities, and nation and identity studies, as well as studies about the experiences of people of Turkish origin who have settled abroad for various reasons. TJDS also plans to publish special issue(s) regarding prevalent and emerging topics and themes in the field. TJDS’s focus of interest includes original studies incorporating research articles, book reviews, scientific translations, review articles, and interviews with experts
