Leyla Neyzi (received Visiting Professorship from United Kingdom Leverhulme Trust in 2019) Sibel Irzk Kristen Sarah Biehl Öztuzcu (Researcher) Zeynep Gülru Göker (Researcher) Alumni Stories Berfu Serçe (2020): I have started Cultural Studies MA program with different questions in mind. Due to the interdisciplinary approach the program offers, I come to realize that the answers to my questions are not singular but should be approached with a multilayered perspective. I started this journey with a background in Political Science and broadened my perspective through learning different approaches offered by literary, anthropological and sociological perspectives. The most important thing that Cultural Studies MA has shown me was how focusing on questions rather than simply looking for answers was crucial in acquiring a critical perspective. Cultural Studies MA Program reminds me the importance of questions I have and the transformative journey I did when pursuing these curiosities.
