I'm the founder of The Posthuman Lab and a founding co-editor of the Journal of Posthumanism. Currently, I teach at Yorkville University's General Studies Program. I'm also a researcher at the University of Toronto, where I work on a project at the intersection of technology, politics, and posthumanism.
My other affiliations include 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 ecological security.
When I don't read and write; swimming, walking, cycling, and watching movies and series make me feel good.
