Assoc. Prof. Dr. Doğan Aydoğan serves as Associate Professor and Department Head in the Department of Public Relations and Promotion at Karabuk University's Faculty of Business Administration since 2021, with administrative leadership as Head of Department (Anabilim Dalı Başkanı) since 2016. His academic journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Radio, Television and Cinema from Ege University's Faculty of Communication (2002-2006), followed by a PhD in the same field from Ege University's Institute of Social Sciences (2006-2012).
His research critically intersects cinema studies and digital media psychology, with core expertise in Film Criticism, Sociology of Cinema, and Cinema Theories. Recent work examines social media addiction mechanisms, materialistic personality development, and identity construction in digital spaces, while maintaining Turkish cinema as a primary analytical lens for societal transformations. His publications reveal consistent interdisciplinary rigor, applying sociological frameworks to analyze representations of masculinity, rural-urban dynamics, and entrepreneurial identity in Turkish film.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2019-2025) shows a strategic dual trajectory: 60% focus on social media psychology (addiction, materialism, mental health impacts) and 40% on cinema studies (theoretical frameworks, Turkish cinema analysis). This evolution reflects adaptation to digital culture while preserving foundational film scholarship, with increasing methodological sophistication in statistical mediation analysis complementing qualitative discourse approaches.
- Thesis Supervision: 8 master's theses (2020-2025) on social media psychology and organizational communication
- Research Projects: 5 principal investigator roles (2016-2018) exploring cinema representations and social media impacts
- Teaching: Courses in Social Media Management, Advertising, Sociology, and Corporate Identity
Dr. Aydoğan maintains active scholarly production with 33 publications including 19 journal articles, 8 book chapters, and 2 authored books, demonstrating sustained contribution to communication studies through both empirical research and theoretical advancement in Turkish academic contexts.
