Sefa Secen studies how refugees, especially Syrians displaced by the war in Syria, are treated politically and socially in host countries such as Turkey, Germany, and France, and how these refugees themselves respond to hostile political rhetoric and policies. The research combines political science topics like elections, nationalism, and party competition with questions about migration, identity, and psychological well-being of displaced people. This work is grounded in the broader field of Middle East and Turkish politics.
