Biography

Tuğrul İlter has taught at Middle East Technical University in Ankara, University of Oregon in Eugene, and Wayne State University in Detroit. Since 1999 he has been teaching in the Faculty of Communication and Media Studies at Eastern Mediterranean University, and served as, so far, the only elected Dean from December 2008 to July 2010. His multi-cultural background is reflected in his research interests which include cross-cultural as well as global relations and the communication networks that enable such relations. He contributes to the efforts for a peaceful solution to the “Cyprus problem,” yearning for a democratic and multicultural Cyprus free from custodian dictation of her fate. He is an avid climber and wilderness sports enthusiast, climbing, scuba diving, bicycling, trekking, rafting, paragliding, and skiing (nordic style) whenever he gets the chance. He often becomes suspicious, especially while eating out, that he is the only vegan in North Cyprus.
