    Biography

    I joined the Department of Sociology and Policy at Aston University in September 2015. Prior to joining Aston I was at the University of Oxford (Oxford Programme for the Future of Cities, School of Anthropology & Museum Ethnography ).

    My post-doctoral research project focused on the impact of urban policies on property rights of different groups in Istanbul, Turkey. Before that I completed my PhD in Sociology at The University of Manchester in 2011, entitled: “Gentrification and Belonging in Istanbul”. My PhD research explored the ways in which urban policies, gentrification and socio-economic policies impact upon the class composition, housing, and patterns of belonging of different social classes in Istanbul, Turkey.
     
    Currently I am working on two research projects: 1- The EU-funded (H2020) project ‘Cultural Heritage and Identities of Europe’s Future’ (CHIEF; www.chiefproject.eu ). 2- Cultural Consumption and Cultural Participation among Turkish, Kurdish and Cypriot Populations in the UK (BA/Leverhulme Small Research Grants)

    Research Interests

    My research interests include: social and economic inequality, the relationship between social class and social-symbolic borders, gentrification and social-spatial exclusion, cultural sociology, cultural participation, sociology of youth and education, gender inequality and migration. I work with both quantitative/qualitative/mixed methods with a particular interest in ethnographic research methods and multiple correspondence analysis.
