Can you briefly describe yourself with 2-3 sentences?? Who is Tuğba Özışık?

I was born in Istanbul in 1986. After completing my undergraduate and master’s degree in Istanbul Kultur University, Department of Economics, I started my Economics PhD program in Istanbul University. I am currently at the PhD thesis phase. In addition to continuing my academic life in the field of economics, visuality and creativity are also at every stage of my life. Although it is not possible in this period, organizing organizations for my loved ones is among my hobbies. We are a family of four. I have a seven-year-old son named Serdar Ege. My husband also has a 14-year-old daughter named Defne.

How has your process of joining the IKU Family developed?

I joined the Kültür family in 2005 when I started my undergraduate education. With the preference and English exam offered to us in the second year, I continued my education under the title of Applied Economics in English. I completed my 2007-2008 Academic Year Fall Semester with the Erasmus program in Germany Ludwigshafen University. The process during the Erasmus period was very productive. The opportunity to study at a university abroad enabled me to look at academic life from a different perspective. In addition, exploring many countries in Europe by doing Interrail during this period and making new friendships improved me socially. Later, I started to work after my graduation in 2010 in the Department of Economics, where I worked as a student assistant during my student period.  

Whether these organizations position the work as “social justice education,” “culturally responsive teaching,” or “inclusion,” their efforts lead in the same direction—toward higher quality and more equitable education for all. The chapters will be relevant to graduate students, faculty members, and education leaders, at all levels, who seek a comprehensive overview of the commitment and practice of “inclusive education”. Chapters vary in their approaches to the topic, some presenting theoretical underpinnings, others describing practices or programs at particular sites, others reporting findings from empirical studies, and edited interviews with state and district leaders of inclusive-education initiatives. The book explores why inclusion is important and how it can be accomplished.
