I received my B.A in philosophy in 1986 from Bogazici University (formerly, Robert College) in Istanbul, and my doctoral degree from University of Maryland at College Park (UMCP) in 1993.  After spending one and a half years at CSLI, Stanford, as a visiting scholar, I moved to the University of Chicago in October 1994 as assistant professor. In the Fall of 2001, I moved to the Department of Philosophy at the University of Florida.  My new academic home, beginning July 2007, is UBC Philosophy Department.
