I currently serve as one of the coordinators of the Sociology of Social Policy and Social Welfare Research Network (RN26) of the European Sociological Association, and editorial board members of the Journal of Social Policy and New Perspectives on Turkey. I work on public policy, comparative social policy, health policy, humanitarian action, the interplay between human rights and social policy, and welfare politics.
