  • Ottoman Women’s Movement and Modernization

For numerous years, the conventional portrayal of women's involvement in Ottoman/Turkish modernization depicted them in a passive role, ostensibly conforming to externally imposed changes and conforming to prescribed societal roles. Nonetheless, scholarship in this domain, particularly since the 1980s, has illuminated a more nuanced understanding.

The culminating gathering of this seminar series is designed to scrutinize the contemporary landscape of Women’s Studies in Turkey.
