- deeper understanding in three dimensions of the undertaken work: the experiences and coping strategies of students in Turkey during the pandemic lockdown,
- the extension of the analytical focus of argument analysis from propositions to narrative stories.
- the formation of a competent core research team in performing argument analysis of everyday discourse and narratives
- endeavors to write and apply to large-scale projects with the core research team and partnerships.

Yayın Dynamics of vaccine skepticism among Turkish youth(2022) Aktar, Merve; Küçükural, Önder; Aktar, Merve; Küçükural, Önder; Küçükural, Önder; Aktar, Merve; Şahin Kaya, Goncagül; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Karşılaştırmalı Edebiyat Bölümü; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Karşılaştırmalı Edebiyat BölümüTo receive a vaccine shot, or not to receive a vaccine shot, has become a life or death decision of sorts, and the range of alternatives contending for public attention, if not trust, pose a puzzle for individual processes of practical reasoning and argumentation. This is especially true for young people. With the goal of examining how vaccine hesitancy is articulated and dealt with in personal narratives, we conducted in-depth oral interviews (önüne) with twenty-seven fırst-year university students- enrolled in more than fıftccn universities spanning most of Turkey in 2021. Wc quickly observed that individuals' decision-making processes are directly affected by the historical strength of the public media narratives circulating among youth. Practical decisions are made depending on the argumentative plausibility of these narratives, bringing to mind Michael Bamberg’s (1997, 2020) positioning theory that suggests a three-tired analysis: story content (story), storytelling interaction (discourse), and social norms. In the Turkish context, the sharp divides and fissures on the level of social norms explain the dynamics of youth vaccine skepticism. Our paper outlines the variants of such skepticism in the midst of Covid-19 and related uncertainties.
