The Turkish Politics Online Workshop returns this autumn with a compelling new series exploring the intersections of digitalization, gender politics, and social inequality in contemporary Turkey. Convened by Assistant Professor Aykut Öztürk (University of Glasgow) and Assistant Professor Digdem Soyaltin-Colella (University of Aberdeen), the programme brings together scholars for three in-depth discussions on the evolving dynamics of political, economic, and social transformation in Turkey.
The sessions will take place on Zoom and the registration links will be updated closer to the events.
