Ph.D. Candidate in Sociology

  

I am a Ph.D. Candidate in sociology at Boston University. Working primarily at the intersection of economic and cultural sociology; organizations, occupations and work; and urban studies, I study how the so-called extra-economic is being translated into the economic. I look specifically into how peculiar goods and services are being economized, and how the markets for those goods and services are being constructed and maintained. Using ethnographic research tools, my dissertation examines the economization of security as a political, social, and affective good and service in the market for private security in Istanbul. 


I am a qualitative researcher specializing in ethnographic methods, in-depth interviewing, non-reactive/secondary content analysis, and single and multi-sited qualitative research design.


I currently serve as the lead editor of the American Sociological Association’s Economic Sociology Section Newsletter, Accounts. I have previously served as a graduate editorial intern for the Socio-Economic Review (2021-2022); as a co-organizer of SER Café, the recently launched event series bringing together the Socio-Economic Review’s authors and their audiences with the support of the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics (2021-2022); and lastly as a co-organizer of Boston University's Sociology Seminar Series (2021-2022). I am elected as a council member of the Economic Sociology Section in the 2022 elections of the American Sociological Association for the 2022-2023 term.


I am a graduate affiliate of the Center for Innovation in Social Science at Boston University and the Precarity Lab.


I hold a B.A. with honors in political science and international relations, and an M.A. in sociology, both from Bogazici University in Istanbul, Turkey.
