Kurdish Studies

Kurdish Studies is an academic field that explores the history, culture, language, politics, and society of the Kurdish people, an ethnic group primarily found in parts of the Middle East. It aims to understand their identity, heritage, and struggles for recognition and autonomy through interdisciplinary research—combining history, anthropology, political science, and linguistics. The field provides insights into Kurdish experiences, resistance, and contributions, fostering a deeper appreciation of their unique cultural and social dynamics within the broader Middle Eastern context.
