I am an ethnographer with a multidisciplinary background in sociology, human geography and anthropology. My core field of expertise is migration, with a focus on migration governance, migration-development linkages, and migration and diversity in host societies. I have a strong interest in the epistemology and practice of qualitative research methods. I strive for knowledge that can make a difference in the world we live in and often work at the crossroads between academia and practice.

I currently work as Senior Research Associate in Qualitative Research at the University of Bristol. Prior to the current position, I worked as post-doctoral researcher at the Department of Communication, University of Vienna. I have been trained as an interdisciplinary migration scholar with a substantive focus on the scientific study of public health, work and employment, cultural sociology, forced migration, integration and development, multilevel governance, welfare studies, different forms of inequalities and exclusion, and public opinion. The geographical scope of my academic work mostly focuses on the Global South, particularly the context of Turkey, but some of my ongoing work also looks at the context of developed countries (e.g. Austria, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom) as well as the context of developing countries (e.g. Bosnia and Herzegovina, Lebanon, Jordan).

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.
