About

I am a social and cultural anthropologist with a specialization in visual and media anthropology. I completed my undergraduate studies at Boğaziçi University in Istanbul, and my MA in Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Tübingen, where I am currently a PhD candidate in Social and Cultural Anthropology. My research is based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in Turkey and transregional contexts and focuses on mobility, kinship, gender, and death, with particular attention to everyday negotiations of belonging, loss, and relationality. Methodologically, I work with visual and multimodal approaches—such as filmmaking, photography, and collaborative visual practices—which I understand not as supplementary materials but as core ethnographic tools. Alongside my research, I teach with a practice-based and multimodal approach that integrates visual, sensory, and collaborative methods into anthropological theory.
