My research interests include cultural studies, Turkish politics, and critical security studies. I published a co-authored paper in an SSCI journal on Jean Baudrillard's Simulation and Simulacra theory, examining its implication on Turkish politics. A competitive autocratic regime's media control and use of TV series in line with their discourses constitute a specific case of study for a "Political Simulacrum". I want to pursue my career in academic research and my area of research interest. I am currently working on two other projects, looking at Democratic Backsliding and Turkish media from critical perspectives. Prior to becoming a co-author on an academic publication, I wrote poems and stories published in monthly literature journals such as Lirik, Songemi, Altısütun, Net Dergi, Ayarsız, Öykü Gazetesi.
