Julius is a PhD candidate in the Sociology Department at the University of Cambridge, where his work focuses on parliamentary meaning-making in response to, so called, migrant “crises” in Europe and on the intersection of democratic politics with populism and media logics. Julius has published book chapters and academic articles on populism in Turkey and EU-Turkey relations.
Julius supervises Cambridge undergraduates in Advanced Social Theory. At the Institute of Continuing Education, Julius previously taught the module Europe after Brexit: realpolitik or soft power? on the course ‘War, peace and destruction: the international politics of global power’.
Outside of his commitments at the University of Cambridge, Julius is a researcher at Vocal Europe and a former visiting scholar at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP) in Brussels. He has published analyses for the Middle East Institute, the Heinrich Boell Foundation and the French Institute for International and Strategic Affairs. Together with Hacer Z. Gonul, Julius founded the platform M3Dialogue.com, which seeks to nurture exchange between academics, publics and politicians on issues relating to migrants, minorities and marginalisation across the world. Julius is also a solicitor of the Courts of England and Wales.
Julius' teaching style combines oral presentations with the use of online and visual media and makes use of the practical experiences he has collected at think tanks in Brussels and Tel Aviv. Julius encourages active participation and the exchange of diverse perspectives.
