My primary research and teaching interests are media and cultural studies, globalization, modernity, local media, international communication, media ethnography and audiences.
I received my Ph.D. in Mass Communication from Ohio University in 2003 and previously taught at Eastern Mediterranean University in Cyprus and at the University of Iowa.
Currently, I am researching the role of local media and emergent communication technologies in community building and identity construction in Turkey, alternative uses of commercial radio and women’s access to and use of information technologies in the Middle East. My work has been published in media and communication journals such as Journal of Radio Studies, The Radio Journal: International Studies in Broadcast & Audio Media, Television and New Media, Political Communication and in several edited collections.
I have received several awards, including the Best Faculty Paper Award at the Global Fusion 2009: Global Media and Communication Conference in October 2009 and the James E. Murphy Best Faculty Paper Award from the Critical Cultural Studies Division of the AEJMC Conference in July 2003.
I am on editorial boards of Journal of International Communication and Global Media Journal's Mediterranean Edition.
