politics of care and body. I am currently working on my book manuscript tentatively titled (1)
Documenting Bodies: Forensic Medicine Experts And Human Rights In Turkey. Based on ethnographic fieldwork (2011-2013) in human rights NGOs and forensic medicine institutions in Istanbul (1)
the manuscript examines non-therapeutic clinical encounters and forensic documents as determinants of forms of violence in Turkey. I am also developing a second ethnographic project on kidney patients who go through both live-kidney transplantation and dialysis. My ethnographic research at the Kidney Foundation Hospital in Istanbul explores how patients and families deal with the hidden risks and dangers of routinization of live kidney transplant and techno-scientific imaginaries associated with it. My third ethnographic project concerns how patients attendants (refakatçı) are called upon to liaise with hospital staff. I am interested in how individuals (1)
