I'm a Professor of General Studies at Yorkville University. I'm also the founder 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), Brock University's Posthumanism Research Institute, and the US-based Center for Critical Research on Religion. Before moving to Canada, I worked as an assistant professor of political science 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.
When I don't read and write; swimming, walking, cycling, and watching movies and series make me feel good.
