- About Me
I am a Marie Curie fellow based at the University College London. I was awarded my MA and PhD degrees from the Ataturk Institute for Modern Turkish History at Bogazici University, and worked as a SI and RWI researcher at the Child Studies Unit at Linköping University in Sweden. Currently, I am conducting a research project on changing representations of children in Turkey and in Britain during the 1980s and 1990s. My research primarily deals with the relations between social change and the conceptualisations of childhood in the contemporary world, with a particular focus on inequality, discrimination, and distinction.
