She completed her PhD thesis entitled "the Loss of Modesty: The Adventure of Muslim Family from Neighborhood to Gated Community" at the European University of Viadrina, in 2014. Her PhD project was supported by Global Prayers Project initiated by MetroZones. She works as field researcher for Helsinki Citizens Assembly's project entitled "Citizens Network for Peace, Reconciliation and Human Security" in Western Balkans and Turkey.
In her PhD project, she analyzed how a government uses the state apparatuses and privileges to transform a city in a neo-liberal playground. Her case, Istanbul, is under a big transformation process in the last seven years. This transformation itself represents the economical and social preferences of Turkey under the rule of AKP. In order to analyze AKP's urban policies, Ayse Cavdar focuses on TOKI (Mass Housing Administration of Turkey). Since 2004 the government authorized TOKI as the main actor to apply its policies over different urban contexts.
