Tankut Atuk

I joined the Department of STS as an Assistant Professor of Sociology of Public Health and Medicine. I am an interdisciplinary scholar whose research is situated at the intersections of Public/Global Health, Medical Sociology/Anthropology, Social Epidemiology, and Queer Health Activism. In addition to master’s degrees in Gender Studies and Sociology, I hold a PhD in Feminist Studies & Anthropology. My current book project looks at the socio-epidemiological dimensions of the highly politicized HIV epidemic in Turkey where public health has become a pathogenic technology.
