I am a qualitative researcher. My main area of expertise is migrant political participation. More recently, I started focussing on migrant entrepreneurship and in 2019 I conducted a small study on Greek and Italian businesses operating in the restaurant industry in the North-West of England. I would be interested in projects on political transnationalism, migrant and ethnic entrepreneurship, professional migration and migrants' cultural heritage (with a focus on food).

I currently work at Centre Maurice Halbwachs (École Normale Supérieure) as a 'Chercheuse Contractuelle'. I am also one of the Editorial Managers at 'Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism'. I graduated with a PhD in Sociology from the University of Edinburgh in 2016. My PhD thesis explored the different forms of Kurdishness in Turkey with regards to place, the language use, and state rhetoric. My book based on this thesis (Customized Forms of Kurdishness in Turkey: State Rhetoric, Locality, and Language Use) was published in 2018 by Lexington Books. My postdoctoral research aims to unpack how whiteness is (re-)constructed intersectionally within the second-generation immigrants from Turkey. My research interests are belonging, intersectionality, transnationalism, and Turkey. I was also a Young Visiting Researcher funded by the Campus France Fellowship at Centre Nantais de Sociologie and a Fellow at Kulturwissenschaftliches Institut Essen in Germany. To date, I have taught various courses in Sociology at all levels at Istanbul Okan University and the University of Edinburgh.

I'm a PhD student at Trent University, Canada with a research focus on postpartum experiences of Ghanaian immigrant women moms in Ontario. I depart from damage- and deficit-based approaches, conscientizing the new moms to draw on the strength of their diasporic communities and the wisdom of traditional Ghanaian practices to improve their postpartum mental health experiences. My research interest areas are migrant women's health, gender and labour migration, and migration policy development. I hold MSc. Global Health from Uppsala University (Sweden), M.A. Social Protection from Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences (Germany) and BSc. Physiotherapy from University of Ghana. My past research explored the labour market experiences of Ghanaian family migrant women in Germany.

About the Migration Network Hub
What is the Migration Network Hub?
The Hub is a virtual “meeting space” where governments, stakeholders and experts can access and share migration-related information and services. It provides curated content, analysis and information on a variety of topics.
The Hub aims to support UN Member States in the implementation, follow-up and review of the Global Compact for Migration by serving as a repository of existing evidence, practices and initiatives, and facilitating access to knowledge sharing via online discussions, an expert database and demand-driven, tailor-made solutions (launching in 2021).
Submit your content
What content is displayed in the Hub?
The Hub aims to help you find information on migration, ranging from policy briefs and journal articles, existing portals and platforms and what they offer, to infographics and videos. The different types of resources submitted by users undergo peer review by a panel of experts from within the UN and beyond, before being approved for inclusion in the Hub. To provide guidance to users based on findings of the needs assessment, the content is ordered so that more comprehensive and global resources are shown before more specific and regional ones. Know a great resource? Please submit using the links above and your suggestion will be reviewed. Please see the draft criteria for existing practices here.
Apply to join the Peer Review Roster
Content submitted to the Migration Network Hub is first peer reviewed by experts in the field from both the UN and beyond. Applications are welcomed to join the roster on an ongoing basis. Learn more here.
