Our MA Students Heba Enajah and Rümeysa Merve Koç Presented Their Research at the 8th World Conference on Social Sciences at the University of Cambridge

Heba Enajah and Rümeysa Merve Koç, students from the Department of Sociology at Ibn Haldun University, presented the preliminary findings of their research project titled “Hijrah to Istanbul: A Study on Religious Migration from Western Countries to Istanbul” at the 8th World Conference on Social Sciences, held at the University of Cambridge from June 6 to 8, 2025.

Their presentation addressed key themes such as religious migration from Western countries to Istanbul, the formation of transnational identities, and Istanbul’s emerging role as a global religious and cultural hub.

The research article, which is currently under peer review, is expected to make significant contributions to the academic literature, particularly in the fields of migration studies, transnationalism, and spatial theory. The study is set to expand further and enrich academic debates in these areas in the future.

We congratulate our students Heba Enajah and Rümeysa Merve Koç on their presentation and wish them continued success in their academic endeavors.
