Gul Sen received her PhD in Middle Eastern Studies (2012) and her qualification of professorship (Habilitation) with venia legendi at the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Bonn. She has been teaching at that university since 2010 and at the University of Heidelberg since 2020. During the spring semester 2022 she served as visiting professor for Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Heidelberg. Her research covers both premodern and modern periods from 16th century to present day with a particular interest in history of the Middle East, Ottoman Empire, and the Republic of Turkey. She has published books, edited volumes, and articles in historiography, narratology, legitimacy of rule, transition periods, Arab-speaking provinces, maritime unfree labor, and galley slavery in the Mediterranean. Currently, she is working on the Ottoman captivity narrative of Necati Efendi on St. Petersburg in the late-18th century and on unfree labor at the Ottoman navy.
