Umut Özkırımlı (born 18 November 1970) is a political scientist known for his work in nationalism studies.

Biography

Özkırımlı was born in Ankara, Turkey. After completing his secondary education in Lycée Saint-Joseph, Istanbul in Istanbul, he attended Boğaziçi University. He received his master's degree from London School of Economics and Political Science and his doctoral degree from Istanbul University. He taught as an associate professor in the International Relations department of Istanbul Bilgi University,[1][2] and was a professor in Contemporary Turkey Studies at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies, Lund University, Sweden.[3] Currently, he is a senior research associate at Barcelona Centre for International Affairs (CIDOB) and visiting professor at Blanquerna – Universitat Ramon Llull.[4]

The second edition of his first book Theories of Nationalism. A Critical Introduction was published in April 2010. His second book Contemporary Debates on Nationalism: A Critical Engagement, published in 2005, continued where he left off in the first book and focused on more recent (i.e. postmodern, feminist and post-colonial) accounts of nationalism along with topics such as globalization, cosmopolitanism, multiculturalism. The third book, Tormented by History: Nationalism in Greece and Turkey, co-authored with Spyros Sofos, marks the first sustained and critical effort to study Greek and Turkish nationalisms in a comparative perspective. Özkırımlı's edited volumes include Nationalism and its Futures and (with Ayhan Aktar and Niyazi Kizilyurek) Nationalism in the Troubled Triangle: Cyprus, Greece and Turkey.

In 2020, a postdoctoral researcher at Lund University, Pınar Dinç, accused Özkırımlı of sexual harassment and stalking through her social media posts. Özkırımlı sued Dinç; a Swedish court found her guilty in three out of the elven accusations and issues a fine, while also ruling that Dinç has been justified in reporting Özkırımlı as a harasser.[5] In 2023, Özkırımlı published his debut popular book, Cancelled: The Left Way Back from Woke.[6][7]
