Adanur Nas is a junior at Columbia University, majoring in Economics–Political Science and Human Rights. Originally from Diyarbakir, Turkiye, she is interested in international relations, political economy, human rights, and anti-corruption. Having grown up in a region affected by armed conflict and political repression, her academic and professional work focuses on the way institutional design, public sector capacity, and accountability mechanisms affect governance, democratic participation, and access to rights in conflict-affected regions. As a Research Assistant in the Columbia Department of Political Science, she studies the relationship between social media, youth political behavior, civic engagement, and democratic accountability. Previously, her research focused on Kurdish nationalism and comparative political institutions, transnational corporate accountability for human rights violations, international climate governance, and the role of intergovernmental institutions in addressing global challenges. Beyond campus, Adanur has contributed to policy and public-interest initiatives in the United States, Austria, and Turkiye, including her current role as an Academic Programmes Intern at the International Anti-Corruption Academy (IACA), where she works on anti-corruption education, curriculum development, and institutional programming. She is also the recipient of the Maurice J. and Fay B. Karpf Peace Prize Award, a member of the Chalkboard Politics Podcast team at the Saltzman Institute, and is involved with the Columbia Undergraduate Law Review and Columbia Academics in Foreign Affairs. After graduation, she hopes to work at an intergovernmental organization before pursuing graduate studies in international economic development or international law and human rights policy
