Trainerdetails

I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science, where I specialized in qualitative research design, conducted content analysis followed by a thematic interpretation. Between 2015-2017 MAXQDA became an essential part of my research process, enabling me to organize and analyze complex data easily. My positive experience with the software led me to continue using MAXQDA throughout my second Ph.D. in the interdisciplinary field of Socioeconomic Development and Biotechnology where I employed it to analyze public policy documents. Today, as a faculty member at Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University, I actively integrate qualitative methodology and digital research tools in my teaching and research practice. Alongside teaching, I currently serve as the project executive of the research project "Eugenics in Childcare Policies in Türkiye" funded by my institution, where our team uses MAXQDA to manage and analyze archival and textual data systematically. Through both my research and teaching I consistently emphasize the methodological and practical significance of QDAs in contemporary social science.
