Welcome to My Website! 

I am a Ph.D. candidate in political science and expect to earn my degree in the Summer of 2024 from University of Delaware. I earned my BA and MA in Political Science and International Relations from Bogazici University. My research interests involve comparative political behavior, the politics of migration, race, and ethnic politics, state-minority relations, and intergroup attitudes with a regional focus on the US, Europe, MENA, and Russia. My dissertation explores the individual and contextual determinants of anti-immigrant attitudes in Europe and North America. I was a visiting scholar at Columbia University from 2022 to 2023 to conduct research for my dissertation.
