General Information
I studied Sociology, Turkology, Philosophy and Ethnology at the University of Vienna, completing a Master’s thesis on Turkish girls in Vienna in 1991. After successfully completing a PhD thesis on the green movement in Turkey, which I submitted to the University of Vienna in 1996 and conducting several post-doc projects on women and Islam in Turkey between 1997 and 2000, I have been working on various issues related to migration movements to and through Turkey for approximately 15 years. Migration has not only shaped my personal life after graduation but has also become the main issues of my academic profile. In this context, I have been involved in several international and interdisciplinary projects.
Mission and Objectives

My main fields of research are: - women and islam - social and political change in Turkey - new social movements - migration. During the last years I mainly focused on migration issues.

Main Projects / Activities

My post-doc research on migration concentrates on five subjects: (1) German citizens in Turkey, (2) Turkey as a target country for migration, (3) migration and labor market integration of highly qualified migrants, (4) (re)migration from Germany to Turkey and (5) German-Turkish transnationalization.
