About

Dr. Nimet Keseli Ustabaşı completed a doctorate in 2025 at Bursa Uludağ University, Graduate School of Social Sciences, Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, Sociology of Religion programme. The dissertation used field research to examine how Islamic family values produce a "hybridising" habitus among political party members in Çanakkale.

This work brings Bourdieu's concepts of habitus, field and capital to bear on topics such as marital equivalence (kafa'ah), the formation of political preferences, delayed marriage, and the psycho-social effects of religious services in prisons.
