The Migrant Futures Institute (MFI) is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr Sultan Doughan as the Institute’s fourth interim co-director.

Sultan is a political anthropologist whose work focuses on the secular governance of religious difference in Europe. Her current book project, Converting Citizens: German Secularism and the Politics of Holocaust Memory, explores how debates on memory, race, and migration shape citizenship for Middle Eastern diasporas in Germany.

Sultan’s research brings critical insight into the role of education, state institutions, and memorial culture in shaping belonging and rights for migrant communities—work that all aligns strongly with the MFI’s mission.

Please join us in welcoming Sultan to this important role, which is effective immediately.
