About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

An easy-going person who currently lives in a three room flat in central Malmö/Sweden.

I studied sociology and theatre in Istanbul/Turkey, and did masters on international migration in Malmö/Sweden and on cultural analysis in Lund/Sweden. Right now doing my PhD on shopping/consumption.

I enjoy people. I really do. Study them, talk to them, dance with them, walk with them... Politics, culture, and art are favorite subjects I guess... Talking about art; I have a genuine interest in arts, particularly theatre and cinema. I was a part of an amateur theater group back in days... Plus, I dance lindy hop, play percussions called darbuka and cajon, and planning to do some short/long feature films.

Besides above things, I like going out at the weekends, and chatting over a beer or a coffee is a lot of fun as well.

PHILOSOPHY

"Ever tried. Ever Failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better."
