Erdem Sönmez
I am a historian of the modern Middle East, with research and teaching interests focusing on the intellectual, cultural, and political history of the nineteenth- and twentieth-century Ottoman Empire and Turkey. Beyond this temporal and spatial scope, I extensively engage with the theoretical and methodological aspects of historiography, specifically with the history of historical writing and thought.
I received my Ph.D. in History from Bilkent University and hold master's and undergraduate degrees from Istanbul and Istanbul Technical universities, respectively. I also spent one year as a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard University and held visiting positions at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London and Siena University in Italy.
My work has appeared in various edited volumes and such journals as the Modern Intellectual History, British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies, Turkish Historical Review, and Middle Eastern Studies, among others. Additionally, I have been invited to review books by a number of journals, including the American Historical Review, Journal of Cold War Studies, European History Quarterly, Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, Die Welt des Islams, and Turkish Studies. I have also authored two books in Turkish, entitled Ahmed Rıza: Bir Jön Türk Liderinin Siyasi-Entelektüel Portresi [Ahmed Rıza: An Intellectual and Political Portrait of a Young Turk Leader] and Annales Okulu ve Türkiye'de Tarihyazımı: Annales Okulunun Türkiye'deki Tarihyazımına Etkisi [The Annales and Turkish Historiography: The Impact of the Annales School on Turkish Historical Writing].
