Dr Bermal Aydin is currently working on a research project titled "The Relationship Between Repressive Regimes and Precarization of Academia and Media Professionals: A Discussion of the Case of Turkey". The research includes a comprehensive theoretical framework and in-depth interviews with some journalists and academics who left Turkey under authoritarian regime terms due to their political stances and have been working in the UK. The research also aims to find out the new and alternative ways of intellectual production beyond boundaries of the institutions. 

During her time at LSE, Dr Aydin is working with Dr Myria Georgiou.
