I am a sociologist by training and at heart.
​
In my teaching, I have taught gender studies every semester for fifteen years and loved pretty much every minute of it.
​
In my research, I do cultural sociology, that is also informed by political economy, on issues of gender.
​
Currently, I am working on two potential projects: one that explores 'mobility(ies)' as a key concept in understanding contemporary Turkey, and another that examines the changing spatial design of kitchens on gender relations.
