What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that allow me to engage in impactful research and contribute to peace studies, fostering collaboration in academic and public domains.

I am a dedicated researcher specializing in legal theory and history, with a profound interest in comparative constitutional law and legal anthropology. My academic journey culminated in a PhD from Friedrich-Alexander Universität, where I explored the mythopoetic dimensions of constitutional preambles, earning summa cum laude recognition. My work reflects a commitment to understanding the intricate relationship between law and societal narratives.

In addition to my research, I have extensive experience in translation and editing, focusing on legal documents and academic publications. As a project coordinator for Off-University e.V., I led initiatives aimed at fostering dialogue around peace processes in Turkey, demonstrating my ability to bridge academic insights with practical applications. My teaching roles at Marmara University have further honed my skills in conveying complex legal concepts to diverse audiences.
