Emrah Sahin

Emrah Sahin is a transnational historian focusing on how political forces relate to social exchanges taking place within and beyond national borders. Exploring why Muslims treat non-Muslims the way they do, his first project resulted in a recent book titled Faithful Encounters: Authorities and American Missionaries in the Ottoman Empire. He is currently working on globally-oriented Muslim views of ethnicity, equality, and morality. This project includes a localizing narrative of ongoing debates over secularism, and a critical study of six travelers who told the Islamic world about Europe and America. Professor Sahin is a senior lecturer at the University of Florida, where he is teaching global studies, religious violence, Islam, Europe, US in the Middle East, Mediterranean world, world cities, Muslim migrations, Turkey, and the Ottoman Empire.
