Kurdish Political Studies Program

The Kurdish Political Studies Program (KPSP), hosted at the School of Politics, Security, and International Affairs at the University of Central Florida (UCF), is the first and only academic program dedicated to the study of politics of Kurds and Kurdistan in the United States. KPSP promotes academic studies and public awareness of Kurdish politics, organizes events addressing contemporary issues affecting Kurdish people, facilitates exchanges and collaborations between UCF and Kurdish universities, and develops curriculum focusing on themes related to the Kurdish experience. KPSP is integrated with the Security Studies doctoral program. A review of KPSP activities from fall 2017 to summer 2019 could be found here.
