I am Yaren Arabacı. I have my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Cultural Anthropology. Atop of this, I am a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults). Thus, accordingly, I conducted brief research on the deaf community and the families of deaf individuals during my undergraduate years.
Here, at the MPI, I am working as a Research Assistant in the Multimodal Language Department with Prof. Asli Özyürek and her team. Essentially, I serve as a sign language interpreter- mainly from TID (Turkish Sign Language) to English, while I also focus on archival work and coding sign language data.
Before coming to the MPI, I actively participated in civil society initiatives in Turkey, focusing on minority rights, access to democracy, and peace.
