MSU Strategic Partnerships: Building Relationships Around Gendered Violence Research in Turkey
(Academic)
This presentation describes the results of my efforts to build strategic partnerships with gender scholars in Bogazici and Istanbul Universities between June 11-23, 2010. During this trip I met with several scholars at each university, attended lectures, spoke with students, and read English language publications from prominent feminists in Turkey, particularly those doing work on violence against women. I will describe how I would recommend the Center for Gender in Global Context should proceed in building strategic partnerships with gender scholars at Bogazici and Istanbul Universities. I will also describe some of the research being conducted by feminist scholars at Bogazici and Istanbul Universities, and where possible collaboration opportunities might lie.
