Her other research interests include postcoloniality and decolonization in literature, graphic novels in a global context, and science and technology in literature. Having lived in Turkey, Germany, France, India and Canada, she embraces diversity and multiculturalism. In a previous life, Lale was an electrical engineer and had worked in the information technology industry for fifteen years. She admits that two good things came out of having received a BSc degree in Electrical Engineering: a soul mate, and a science fiction course design. She is happier in her new role as a researcher, learner and educator. At parties, she loves explaining the difference between World Literature and Global Literature.
