Biography

Edanur Yarar completed her bachelor’s degree in political science and oriental studies at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, where she focused particularly on issues relating to Islam, Middle East politics, and migration and refugee policy. A semester abroad at Cairo University’s Faculty of Economics and Political Science deepened her regional expertise and intercultural skills. She is currently continuing her studies with a master’s degree in political science at FAU.
She gained professional experience during her bachelor’s degree as a student assistant at the FAU Centre for Human Rights, where she worked in the research area of migration, refugees, and integration, and collaborated on the project ‘Health – Participation in the Care Sector.’ Since August 2025, she has also been supporting the Bavarian Research Centre for Interreligious Discourse in the area of social media and content creation.
Her interests revolve around the interplay of religion, culture, and politics, and the shaping of social negotiation processes. At BaFID, she would like to contribute to these interests and promote open intercultural and interreligious exchange.
