Gunes Murat Tezcur

Assistant Professor, Political Science

Upcoming in Summer 2009: Turkish Electoral Landscape Project

I am on leave in Fall 2008

I joined the political science department at Loyola in August 2005 after earning my Ph.D. at the University of Michigan. I conduct research on religiosity, elections, guardianship and party politics in Iran and Turkey and Kurdish nationalism. The themes I address in my scholarly work include: (1) the dynamics of post-Islamist politics; (2) political attitudes of Muslim publics; (3) the relationship between secularism, liberalism, and democracy; (4) pockets of authoritarianism and cultures of impunity. I teach courses on the Middle East, Shi'ism, and politics of energy.
