Hi!

I’m Huseyin Zeyd Koytak, I am a visiting assistant professor of sociology at University of Mississippi.

I hold a B.A. in Sociology with a minor in Economics from Bogazici University and an M.A. in Sociology from Istanbul Sehir University. I am currently advancing my Ph.D. in Sociology at Syracuse University, where my research focuses on the transformation of taste and consumption in post-war America.

My research interests include race and ethnicity, immigration, the sociology of food and consumption, and computational methods. I have previously published a computational study on social media framing of Syrian immigration, an explorative research immigrant social capital in hometown associations, a study of race and ethnicity in online restaurant reviews, and a co-authored work, which is recognized by the American Sociological Association in 2021.

I have extensive research experience as a co-founder and research team leader at Twittersphere.net and as a theme coordinator for the Turkish General Social Survey. I have received several grants and fellowships and actively engaged in student associations, showcasing my commitment to community involvement.

I am a member of the American Sociological Association, Population Association of America, and the European Sociological Association, and am proficient in Python, STATA, ATLAS.ti, and ArcGIS.
