Dr Tugba Basaran serves as the Director of the Centre for the Study of Global Human Movement. Her expertise is international relations - in research and in practice.

Tugba Basaran

Dr Basaran held visiting positions at Harvard Law, Princeton, Sciences-Po and the Institute for Advanced Studies (Princeton). She also held tenure at the University of Kent. Her expertise of international studies was moulded not only through research, but equally through residency and work in the Americas, Africa, Asia and Europe.

Her research is located at the intersection of politics, law and society, examining global practices of governance. Her research is, amongst others, on legal borders and geographies, claims to extra-territoriality and the production of indifference, law鈥檚 distinctions between liberal and illiberal and tensions between state and empire. She is author of the monograph 鈥楽ecurity, Law and Borders: At the Limit of Liberties鈥�. In her research, she seeks to extrapolate past and present formations of governance, prompting queries on law鈥檚 subjectivities, space and time, in an effort to reimagine politics, the way we govern and are governed, and to question established political, legal and social theories.
