In 2010 I earned second MA degree in Advanced International studies from the Institut Européen des Hautes Etudes Internationales in Nice (France).In master programmes, I extensively worked on European secularization process and history of secularization in Turkey. I hold a PhD degree from Radboud University, Nijmegen (Catholic University of Nijmegen). My PhD thesis is entitled as “Secularization of Alevis in Turkey – An Extention of Steve Bruce’s Secularization Paradigm and Its Application to Alevi Communities in Turkey.” I have recently published the book in Turkish called "Secularization Theory".
