Religion and International Relations, Islamic Thought, Turkish Studies, Middle Eastern Studies, Multiculturalism

My research interests center around religious studies in general and Islamic thoughts in particular. Prior to my appointment here, I have conducted research on the relationship between Islamic thoughts and everyday life of Muslims in Turkey and abroad, utilizing the methods of area studies and Islamic sciences. I have also been interested in the re-emergence of religion in the global context, especially the global activities of faith-based civil society movements.
