CultPost is a platform that I share my personal essays and academic publications since my MA studies. Having completed my BA and MA in Cultural Studies at Sabancı University in Istanbul, I gained my Ph.D. degree in Advertising at Marmara University Faculty of Communication at Istanbul. After being enrolled as a research assistant for five years, I am currently working as an Assistant Professor at the same Faculty. The platform that I manage offers essays and articles regarding various topics ranging from cultural studies, media studies, literary studies, critical theory, advertising, and branding. It also constitutes a major space for me to contact my students regarding the updates in my courses.
