Assoc. Prof. Dr. Rukiye ÇELİK serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Public Relations and Promotion at Suleyman Demirel University's Faculty of Communication. Her academic trajectory spans health administration and critical communication studies, with active scholarly contributions through 2023. Current research focuses on the sociocultural dimensions of health discourse and institutional power structures.
Her educational foundation includes:
- Associate Degree in Oral and Dental Health from Istanbul University (2006)
- Licence in Health Administration from Hacettepe University (2010)
- Master's Degree in Health Management (Thesis) from Suleyman Demirel University (2012)
- Doctorate in Health Institutions Administration from Suleyman Demirel University (2016)
ÇELİK's research critically examines health communication through lenses of biopower, medicalization, and cultural representation. She investigates how health discourse shapes societal norms, analyzing phenomena from anti-aging advertising to health anxiety in digital environments. Her work consistently bridges critical theory with empirical studies of healthcare systems and media practices, emphasizing power dynamics in health literacy and policy implementation.
Publication analysis reveals evolving thematic priorities: early work (2012-2016) focused on healthcare administration and institutional identity, while recent output (2018-2019) addresses urgent communication challenges including mobile health security, hubris in medical professions, and political hashtag activism. This progression demonstrates increasing engagement with digital media's impact on health perception and policy.
