Hilal Cemile Tümer is a Ph.D. candidate in History at the University of California, Berkeley. She received her B.A. in History from Boğaziçi University and her M.A. from Sabancı University in Istanbul. Her dissertation explores the forced migration of Muslims from the Peloponnese during the Greek War of Independence and traces their resettlement in Ottoman cities, focusing on shifting practices of governance in the early nineteenth century. Drawing on archival sources from Turkey, Greece, France, and the United Kingdom, her research examines the intersection of mobility, imperial reform, and refugee agency. As a secondary project, she examines the history of the Ottoman embassy in Athens, with particular attention to the experiences of Muslims who remained within the newly established Greek state. This work highlights the embassy’s function as a diplomatic, cultural, and humanitarian mediator in the post-Ottoman context.
