Welcome to my website. I am an Associate Professor in the Department of International Relations at Karadeniz Technical University. I obtained my PhD from the University of Houston-Department of Political Science. Between January 2015-July 2015 I was a research associate at the Rice University's Local Elections in America Project. I am also the co-director of the Turkish Policy Agendas Project. My work has been published or is forthcoming in journals such as Comparative Politics, Democratization, Electoral Studies, Party Politics, Political Behavior, Political Research Quarterly, Parliamentary Affairs, and Social Politics. On this page, you will find information about my research, CV, and the projects that I am involved in.
