Our article on ontological security, civil war, and narrative is out at @CoCo_journal .
Prof. @aysebetulcelik and me argue that groups seek TRUTH to maintain their ontological security by narrating themselves thickly.

Historical Social Science

These books provide two accounts of how to do historical social science. Kreuzer is more qualitative in orientation, Wawro & Katznelson are more quantitative

Yet they both press us to think more rigorously about how to combine history & social science

[Samer SHarani @SSHarani3]

Happily, our article, Meltem Müftüler-Baç and I, is now out in International Migration (@IntMig_Journal).
Towards a Functional Place: The article argues that "cities emigrate, not individuals." We build on this metaphore to delve into refugee paradoxes.

[Samer SHarani @SSHarani3]

This paradigm reframes refugees as responsibility bearers and shifts the main policy towards improving the place of origin instead of - fundamentally - providing *protection* for refugees. Future research will propose a practical translation for the Functional Place.

[Samer SHarani @SSHarani3]

What does that mean? Instead of imagining - while drafting solutions and policies - an individual emigrating, imagine a city/town/neighborhood emigrating. What will happen? This speculative conceptualization leads us to a different paradigm.

Very Important: Massive fake news, information, videos, on Syria are sweeping social media and even media outlets. NEVER believe what you read or see before verifying with two different and reputable media outlets.
