In our first episode of Marginalized Notes, Mazen Alagawany talks with Dr. Ramazan Aras about the experience of living in the margins of the society, state, borders, academia, and how it has influenced his scholarly engagement.

Our guest, Dr. Ramazan Aras, isn't your typical scholar. He's a sociologist and anthropologist by training, but his true passion lies in breaking down silos and bring together different fields of study to paint a more complete picture.

 He's not just reading dusty textbooks, though. Dr. Aras has served as a professor and founding chair of anthropology departments, bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world experiences. His book, "The Formation of Kurdishness in Turkey," delves deep into this sensitive topic, offering a fresh perspective on a community grappling with its place in the world.

Also, he's a firm believer in interdisciplinary approaches, and his edited volume, "Crossing Borders," reflects this philosophy. Follow us for more upcoming interview with scholars and researchers who worked to bridge the gap between Ivory tower and real living experiences.
