The influences of neoliberalism and Islamic conservatism in Turkey recently transformed gender and women’s roles in society. This talk explains the logic of government policies since the early 2000s with examples from the areas of employment, education, and health. This talk is based on Cavdar’s co-authored book, Women in Turkey: Silent Consensus in the Age of Neoliberalism and Islamic Conservatism. Pizza and beverages will be served.
