Asst. Prof. İrem İnceoğlu Receives Project Grant from the British Academy

It is our distinct pleasure to announce that the project titled “Green Energies on the Ground Across the Mediterranean: Multi-site exploration of the contested politics of the green energy transition from a community perspective”, in which Asst. Prof. İrem İnceoğlu from the Department of Public Relations and Information, is one of the partners, has been awarded funding by the British Academy. The project is coordinated by King’s College London.

This project tackles the interconnected challenges of climate change, sustainable transition to green energy and community involvement across the Mediterranean.Via the Green Deal, the European Union (EU) pursues the goal of zeroing carbon emissions within EU space and a ‘green deal diplomacy’ in its immediate neighbourhood. Based on in-person interviews, participant observation and documentary filmmaking of everyday experiences of local ownership of green energy in three geopolitically connected countries of the Mediterranean, namely, Turkey, Greece and Italy, this project aims to contribute to the development of a community-driven sustainable green transition as a research field and explore its role on climate policies at a practice-based level.

We congratulate our faculty member for her achievement and wish her continued success.
