I studied politics mainly in both BA and MA levels (public administration) and became a PhD holder in the field of cinema and television afterwards. I think my educational background at the crossroads of politics, economics and sociology primarily; and media/cultural studies subsequently, provided a relatively holistic comprehension of social reality, and life, as it is. I have been working as a university lecturer at a cinema department in İzmir/Turkey. Besides giving lectures on social theory, media theories and popular culture, I like strolling in the city and taking pictures. I like street photography and documentary. I aim to be a professional full-time idler in the future. I admire the "flâneur".
