Inci Cetin D'25

Congratulations Inci Cetin on your admission to Princeton University. Inci Cetin will be working on her PhD in the Comparative Literature Program at Princeton University. 

Inci is from Turkey. As an undergraduate, she studied English Literature and Turkish Literature. Currently, completing her MA on the contemporary Sephardic Jewish novel in Mexico and Turkey, with a focus on the poetics and politics of writing in Judeo-Spanish. At Dartmouth, she is very proud to be working with Professor Eman Morsi and Txetxu Aguado.

She will be starting my PhD next year at the Comparative Literature department at Princeton. For her PhD research, Inci is interested in working in the fields of comparative poetics and global Renaissance studies. Her PhD research will specifically focus on early modern lyric forms such as the Ottoman ghazal and the English sonnet of the long sixteenth century. Her aim is to understand how the poetically constructed lyric subjectivities of Ottoman ghazal and English sonnet were posthumously used as narratives for nation and empire. In addition to her current languages—Turkish, Spanish, and Hebrew— she plans to expand her language learning to include Persian and Arabic as part of her PhD research.
