Postdoctoral Associate, Center on Forced Displacement
Cemile Gizem Dinçer is a feminist sociologist, organizer, and researcher working at the intersections of gender and migration. For more than ten years, she has worked on various research projects on migration, borders, women’s labor, asylum, and gender and has been a member of different migrant solidarity and feminist groups. She received her PhD in Sociology at Middle East Technical University in 2022 and is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Center on Forced Displacement at Boston University.
In her postdoctoral research, she examines Turkey’s expanding deportation regime and the construction of deportability through the experiences of women and queer refugees from an intersectional feminist perspective. Her work explores how the production of refugee deportability intersects with the rise of right-wing ideologies, including racism and anti-gender movements, which are on the rise on a global scale.
