Program: Ph.D.

Substantive areas of study: Immigration, citizenship, and global and cultural studies

Research interests: My dissertation looks at immigrant identity in a comparative legal context with specific attention to citizenship status and attitudes toward naturalization. I am comparing 2^nd generation of Turkish immigrants in Germany (Berlin) and the U.S. (NYC, NJ). I am interested in issues such as 'loyalty' and 'belonging' in the context of naturalization and permanent residence from the perspective of the immigrant as well as the legal framework of the host country. My data comes from face-to-face interviews, archival research, media coverage and extensive observation in the field. I taught various undergraduate courses as part of my assistantship in the sociology department. Nowadays I teach faculty development workshops in assisting instructors to integrate technology into their curriculum. Also, as part of my research and development assistantship with ASU's Information Technology, Instruction Support Research group, I work with a team to study online learning at ASU through survey data collection.
