ABOUT
I received my B. A. degree in history at Middle East Technical University, Ankara. In 2009, I earned an M.A. degree from the History Department at Sabancı University (Istanbul) where I worked as a teaching assistant at the same time. I completed my PhD dissertation concerning the Ottoman bureaucrats in the Greek occupation zone (1919-1922) at the History Department of the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London in 2016. My archival research in Nantes and Paris, and studies at the Centre d’Etudes Turques, Ottomanes, Balkaniques et Centrasiatiques (CETOBaC) were supported by the French Embassy scholarships in 2018. My research interests include identities in the Balkan Peninsula and Turkey; nation-building and minorities; and history of the Eastern Orthodox Churches in the Late Ottoman and Early Republican periods.
