Gozde Kilic is an international PhD student at Trent University, a graduate of Baskent University, Turkey with a BA degree in American Culture and Literature and Brock University with an MA degree in Popular Culture. Her research interests are varied, but most generally involve psychoanalysis,post-modernity and subjectivity. She has recently finished her MA thesis,that dealt with the issues of the breakdown of the family and the decline of paternal authority in contemporary American society by giving emphasis to how it affects the subject (weakening of the super-ego, emergence of narcissism as a prevailing social problem). At Trent, she likes to continue her research, but she is also open to different directions her research might take.
Apart from her academic preoccupations, she likes to write for a general
audience in online magazines and newspapers. She is interested in creative fiction, especially travel and food writing.
