Dr. Bulamur's research centers on postcolonial theory, urban theory, feminist criticism, and nineteenth-century/contemporary fiction, with extensive publications analyzing British, American, and Turkish writers including Margaret Fuller, Hannah W. Foster, Elisabeth Gaskell, Edith Wharton, Julia Kristeva, Elif Şafak, and Theresa Hak Kyung Cha. She is the author of the monograph Victorian Murderesses: The Politics of Female Violence (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2016) and currently investigates representations of the Spanish Civil War in Laurie Lee's autobiographical novel A Moment of War (1991).

She demonstrates particular expertise in analyzing religious symbolism, diasporic narratives, and historical trauma through close reading of canonical and contemporary texts.
