What I'm looking for

I'm looking to deepen my work in gender, migration, labor, human rights, and peace studies through research-focused opportunities that support learning and collaboration.

I'm a political science and international relations researcher focused on gender, migration, labor precarity, human rights, and peace studies.

My master's thesis examined the rise of precarity among female migrant domestic workers in Turkey, grounding my work in migration and labor research.

At TED University's Gender Equality Center, I contributed as an academic intern in the critical masculinity studies program, supporting work centered on gender equality.

I'm currently on leave from Atılım University's Political Science and Public Administration PhD program, while continuing my learning through conferences and certificate programs.
