I'm a Professor of Liberal Arts at Yorkville University, the founding director of The Posthuman Lab, and a founding co-editor of the Journal of Posthumanism.
My other affiliations include University of Toronto’s STREET Lab, Ontario Tech University's Digital Life Institute (AI Implications Cluster), and Brock University's Posthumanism Research Institute. Before moving to Canada, I worked as an assistant professor of political science at various institutions in Istanbul, Turkey, as well as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Florida’s Department of Religion.
​
My research centers around posthuman politics, ethics, and technology, with a particular emphasis on planetary security and sustainability.
​
When I don't read and write; swimming, walking, cycling, and watching movies and series make me feel good.
