Kübra YAVUZ SEL

Kübra YAVUZ SEL serves as a full-time Lecturer at Karabük University's School of Foreign Languages since 2015, uniquely combining expertise in English language education and Turkish-Islamic art history through her academic appointments and research output.

Her educational background includes:

• PhD in Art History, Karabük University (2024)
• Master's Degree in Art History with thesis on Babur-era album paintings (2021-2024)
• BA in Art History, Karabük University (2017-2021)
• BA in Foreign Language Education, Hacettepe University (2009-2013)

Her research centers on English language pedagogy and Turkish-Islamic art history, with specialized focus on Mughal-era artistic traditions. She examines how Islamic miniature painting and ivory works from the Akbar and Babur periods reflect cultural exchanges between South Asian courts and colonial powers, particularly analyzing material techniques and patronage systems within Ottoman and Mughal contexts.

Analysis of her publications reveals consistent specialization in South Asian Islamic art, with her 2024 ivory painting study and 2023 co-authored work on East India Company painting activities demonstrating deep engagement with cross-cultural artistic production during colonial transitions. These works establish her contribution to understanding hybrid artistic forms emerging from Indo-British encounters.

She actively participates in artistic communities through four documented events including the international 'Barış İçin Küçük Bir Şey Yap' hybrid performance biennale (2024) and national exhibitions like the '7'den 70'e Geleneksel İslam Sanatları Sergisi' (2024), reflecting her commitment to practical artistic expression alongside academic research.
