About Me
I am a researcher and lecturer dedicated to exploring the evolving intersections of religion, culture, and identity. As a Ph.D. candidate in Political Science at the University of Strasbourg, my work delves into new religious movements, the revival of ancient beliefs, and the societal dynamics of new heterodox religiosities. My research examines how religions emerge, adapt, and gain recognition in contemporary societies, particularly in the context of Turkey and Europe. Alongside my doctoral studies, I am an associate researcher at the French Institute for Anatolian Studies (IFEA).
Beyond my research, I have extensive experience in teaching and translation. As a lecturer at the University of Strasbourg, I teach courses on language, litterature, langueage teaching, history, and cultural studies, fostering intellectual curiosity and interdisciplinary dialogue. My passion for languages extends to translation, where I have worked on academic publications, historical texts, and audiovisual projects, bridging linguistic and cultural narratives.
At the core of my work lies a deep fascination with how traditions are reshaped in the modern world—how spirituality, politics, and cultural memory intertwine to shape identities. Whether through academic inquiry, public engagement, or creative projects, I seek to contribute to a nuanced understanding of the complexities of belief and belonging in today’s societies.
