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.
