Res. Asst. FATİH YAMAN

I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from Istanbul University and currently work as a Research Assistant at Manisa Celal Bayar University in Turkey. I specialize in research methodology, with a particular focus on qualitative approaches, and design mixed-methods studies that combine field-based qualitative and quantitative data, experimental components, and computational data analysis using Python, depending on the research question and analytical focus. I am also a professional MAXQDA trainer and provide methodological support to research projects through systematic data analysis. My academic research aligns closely with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Quality Education (Goal 4), Gender Equality (Goal 5), Reduced Inequalities (Goal 10), Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions (Goal 16), and Partnerships for the Goals (Goal 17). Within this framework, I focus on public policy, democratization, political participation, and issues of inequality and inclusion, with an interest in understanding political behavior through attitudes, perceptions, and meaning-making processes. I also teach research methodology at Manisa Celal Bayar University, where I guide students in exploring diverse methodological approaches—including qualitative, quantitative, and computational methods—and in designing and conducting their own research on socially relevant topics.
