I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of International Relations and Department of Sociology at Koç University, Istanbul since 2016. I am also a member of the executive board of the Migration Research Center at Koç University (MiReKoc). As of January 2020, I am one of the editors of the journal International Migration. My primary research interests include power, inequalities and contestations in relation to different aspects of international mobility. My work therefore is largely informed by sociology of migration, critical security studies and global governance. My current research explores dynamics of integration and social cohesion at the local level as well as changing migration and mobility aspirations.
