Cihan Tekay

PhD Student, Cultural Anthropology

I am a PhD student in Cultural Anthropology at The Graduate Center. My current research is on electrification and the making of the state in Turkey after World War I. Most recently, I received the Social Science Research Council’s International Dissertation Research Fellowship. Previously, I served as a Quantitative Reasoning Fellow (QRF) at Medgar Evers College’s Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence (CTLE) and as Graduate Teaching Fellow (GTF) at John Jay College’s Deparment of Anthropology. I have taught courses in cultural anthropology and gender studies at Baruch College and John Jay College. I work at The Graduate Center’s Admissions office as a student employee.
