About
Perin Gurel is Visiting Assistant Professor of American Studies at Dickinson College and a fellow of the Yale Initiative for the Study of Material and Visual Cultures of Religions.
Perin received her Ph.D. in American Studies and a graduate qualification in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from Yale University. She holds a BA in English and American Studies from UC Berkeley.
Perin has presented and published papers on folklore and nationalism, globalization and sexuality, religion and women's rights, and on transnational American Studies. Her academic interests include comparative studies of gender, sexuality and the politics of transculturation, with special focus on the postwar United States and the Middle East. She is currently working on her first book, _Wild Westernization: Gender, Sexuality, and the United States in Turkey_, which explores how conflicts over the concept of “westernization” in Turkey have historically influenced and continue to influence U.S.-Turkish relations, cultural production, and sexual politics.
