    Turkey
    PhD in Cultural Anthropology
    European University of Viadrina

    Ayşe Çavdar completed her BA degree in Journalism at Ankara University and received her MA in History at Boğaziçi University in Turkey. She completed her doctoral thesis titled "The Loss of Modesty: The Adventure of Muslim Family from Neighborhood to Gated Community" at the European University of Viadrina in 2014 (supported by Global Prayers Project initiated by MetroZones). In 2017, she started her postdoctoral fellowship position at Käte Hamburger Kolleg - Center for Global Cooperation Research in Duisburg. Then, she continued her work as a visiting scholar at the Philipps University in Marburg for two and a half years.
    Alongside her academic career, Çavdar has also been a journalist for three decades, working on diverse political, cultural, and social issues. She participated and worked for different NGOs in Turkey professionally and as a volunteer. Her current academic interests include urban and religious studies focusing particularly on middle-class living spaces and religious performativities. Recently, her work centered on two new topics. The first one is the nationalist and religious symbolization of the state as an idea(l) and affect. Second, is the focus on the new secularities rising among the youths in Turkey. These research interests are linked closely with current political manifestations and youth movements, mainly established in the religious and nationalist social milieu.

    Habilitation in Economics
    University of Passau, Germany


    Marcus Giamattei holds a Habilitation (2020) and a PhD in Economics (2015), both from the University of Passau. Before his PhD he completed an M.A. in International Economics and Business (2011), a B.Sc. in Business Computing (2009), and a B.A. in International Cultural and Business Studies (2009) there. Before coming to Berlin, he was an assistant professor at the University of Passau, where he is still an external fellow. He is also affiliated with CeDEx at the University of Nottingham, UK, and has been a visiting researcher at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona. His research has appeared in Experimental Economics, the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, Plos One, the Journal of Behavioral Decision Making, the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Finance, and the Journal of Money, Credit, and Banking. A full CV can be found at giamattei.de.

    His research interests are Macroeconomics and Experimental and Behavioral Economics. In the growing field of Experimental Macroeconomics, he focuses on bounded rationality and limited reasoning as an important driver of macroeconomic behavior. His second research area deals with the role of cooperation, ethics and corruption. He developed classEx, a tool for interactive classroom and lab-in-the-field experiments with mobile devices and LIONESS Lab – a tool for online experiments. Those tools enable instructors and researchers to use experiments outside of the lab and for teaching economics. classEx and LIONESS are used in over 50 countries around the world.

    Education Manager of OLIve Program

    Dr. Gorana Misic received her PhD in Public Policy from the Central European University (CEU) in 2018. At Bard College Berlin she is Education Manager of OLIve Program, where she oversees the implementation of the curriculum, and works with OLIve faculty and students.

    Before arriving at BCB in 2020, Gorana worked at the CEU Center for Teaching and Learning. She taught PhD courses related to foundations in teaching in higher education, creating a teaching portfolio, facilitating discussions, and teaching with case studies and simulations. She also worked on academic development, served as a teaching mentor, and has experience working with faculty on innovative teaching projects related to experiential learning and online teaching. Her research in the field of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning focuses on academic development of early career teachers, online mentoring, online ‘emergency’ pedagogy as a response to Covid-19, experiential learning, and including students as partners in higher education teaching and learning.

    Previously, Gorana worked in Transparency International Croatia on projects related to financing of political parties and electoral campaigns, conflict of interests and freedom of information. Following this background, her PolSci research interest focuses on political financing and money in politics, regulations and compliance, and anti-corruption policies. Gorana’s PhD dissertation explored the impact of political financing regulations on party corruption in Croatia and Serbia. In her discipline, Gorana taught courses related to policy process and analysis, accountability of political parties, corruption control, public management, and comparative public budgeting.

    PhD in Philosophy

    Michael Weinman is Professor of Philosophy at Bard College Berlin since 2013, after originally arriving as a Guest Professor in 2010. He is the author or editor of five books, most recently, Plato and the Moving Image (Brill, 2019), co-edited with Shai Biderman of Tel Aviv University. In 2018, he published The Parthenon and Liberal Education in the SUNY Series in Ancient Greek Philosophy from SUNY Press, an investigation of the Parthenon as an education in the liberal arts co-authored with Bard College Berlin faculty member Geoff Lehman. His earlier books address the role of pleasure in Aristotle's ethical thought and the relevance of Virginia Woolf's experimentation with narrative for debates about subjectivity in continental philosophy, respectively.

    Michael also has published articles and book chapters on Ancient Greek science, especially mathematics, and its reception in 20th-century German philosophy and on themes in contemporary political philosophy. His current recent interests focus on Arendt’s heterodox understanding of power and political violence for contemporary debates about populism and the challenges facing the liberal international order today and on the changing perception of the entwinement of mind and world in nature writing and narrative fiction from Goethe through Woolf.
