I am an Associate Professor of Political Science in the Department of Media and Social Sciences at University of Stavanger, Norway, and a Research Associate at the Cluster of Excellence: Politics of Inequality, University of Konstanz, Germany. In addition to my current roles, I have also held visiting research positions at Collegio Carlo Alberto, University of Konstanz, University of Southampton and University of Texas at Austin. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science with an emphasis on comparative politics and public policy from University of Missouri, USA.
My research focuses on elite behavior, political representation, gender and politics, and the policy process. My work has been published in American Political Science Review, British Journal of Political Science, Electoral Studies, European Journal of Political Research, Journal of European Public Policy, Legislative Studies Quarterly, Policy Studies Journal, Political Behavior, Political Communication, and elsewhere. My first book, Political Stability, Democracy and Agenda Dynamics in Turkey, was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2020. My research has been featured in various outlets, including the Washington Post's Monkey Cage, LSE Phelan United States Centre, the Conversation, and the John Smith Centre. It has also been cited in several policy reports prepared by organizations such as the World Bank, the European Union, and the Research Council of Norway. |
