Kıvılcım works at the intersection of medieval studies and digital humanities with expertise in two areas: (1) European manuscript culture, specifically the role of manuscripts as material artefacts in textual transmission and book history, and (2) medieval historiography, specifically origin stories of medieval peoples and nations. Her research interests include classical reception and comparative literature, particularly the reception of the story of Troy and the image of the Turk in European Middle Ages. She is also the proud co-founder of Kısmet Press, an independent, not-for-profit, open access publishing company for the Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences.
