Experience in public sector, academia and consultancy.

I am a doctoral candidate in Social Sciences: Interactions, Communication, Cultural Constructions, at the
Department of Philosophy, Sociology, Education and Applied Psychology (FISPPA), University of Padua, Italy. My research interests focus on the impact of digital technology on the process of the social integration of forced migrants. I am currently conducting a study on the digital experiences of the Syrian migrants based in Bavaria, Germany. The purpose of my research is to explore how digital platforms, mobile applications, in particular, are developed and implemented from one side, and appropriated by migrants from the other side.

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of International Relations and Department of Sociology at Koç University, Istanbul since 2016. I am also a member of the executive board of the Migration Research Center at Koç University (MiReKoc). As of January 2020, I am one of the editors of the journal International Migration.

My primary research interests include power, inequalities and contestations in relation to different aspects of international mobility. My work therefore is largely informed by sociology of migration, critical security studies and global governance. My current research explores dynamics of integration and social cohesion at the local level as well as changing migration and mobility aspirations.

• Provide up-to-date, easily accessible information on the legal asylum-seeking process and the role of professionals.
• Increase students and professionals’ knowledge of specific health issues relevant to asylum seekers and refugees.
• Develop a better understanding among students and professionals of the importance of cultural diversity and providing culturally responsive care.
• Create opportunities for inter-professional and inter-agency collaboration and learning between healthcare professionals and non-healthcare organisations such as education, employment, and housing.
• Provide information to promote health and well-being and good practice.
