ABOUT
I Karim .A.H.A. Hasan, an independent Kurdish Canadian scholar living in Toronto, Ontario. After over nearly twenty long years of educational journey in the fields of social, legal and political sciences of the European and North American scholarship traditions, researching and answering questions central to my disciplines of study, I, at the PhD level turned my attention to the study of Kurdish and Kurdistan society, and the Middle East.
Two most pertinent queries in the field research about study of Kurdish and Kurdistan society, and the Middle East I encountered are: practices of knowledge production in Kurdish and Middle Eastern Studies Scholarships, and the question of Kurdish state-formation and the division of Kurdistan (“Kurdistan proper” – Bruinessen: 1994). I first encountered the term “Kurdistan proper” (Bruinessen: 1994). As the byproduct of these two central research fields, I formulated the third field: Sovereignty and state formation in Middle East, which is my dissertation proposal.
