Betül Mutlugün received her Ph.D. in Economics from Istanbul University, Türkiye, in 2019, and began her academic career as a researcher and lecturer at Istanbul University in 2012. Between 2016 and 2018, she worked as a visiting researcher at the University of Southern California, Marshall School of Business, CA. Her research interests cover macroeconomics, international finance, financialization, and income distribution. She adopts a theory-driven empirical approach and uses applied econometrics to shed light on macroeconomic issues, specifically in developing economies.
She has taught core courses such as Introduction to Economics and Macroeconomics, and at Trinity, Betül teaches International Finance, Intro Global Trade and Finance, and Time Series Analysis. Her educational principles are centered on long-term learning, skill development, and ‘putting theory into practice’ via in-class activities. Her goal in teaching is to help students become critical thinkers by providing a strong theoretical foundation and showing how it relates to real-life situations while incorporating pluralistic perspectives as needed. |
