Publication Metadata only Bound together: the secularization of Turkey's literary fields and the western promise of freedom(University of Michigan Press, 2021) Department of Sociology; Büyükokutan, Barış; Faculty Member; Department of Sociology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 126139Bound Together takes a new look at twentieth-century Turkey, asking what it will take for Turkish women and men to regain their lost freedoms, and what the Turkish case means for the prospects of freedom and democracy elsewhere. Contrasting the country’s field of poetry, where secularization was the joint work of pious and nonpious people, with that of the novel, this book inquires into the nature of western-nonwestern difference. Turkey’s poets were more fortunate than its novelists for two reasons. Poets were slightly better at developing the idea of the autonomy of art from politics. While piety was a marker of political identity everywhere, poets were better able than novelists to bracket political differences when assessing their peers as the country was bitterly polarized politically and as the century wore on. Second, and more important, poets of all stripes were more connected to each other than were novelists. Their greater ability to find and keep one another in coffeehouses and literary journals made it less likely for prospective cross-aisle partnerships to remain untested propositions.Publication Metadata only Exploring users interested in 3D food printing and their attitudes: case of the employees of a kitchen appliance company(Taylor and Francis inc, 2022) N/A; N/A; Department of Sociology; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Kocaman, Yağmur; Mert, Aslı Ermiş; Özcan, Oğuzhan; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; Department of Sociology; Department of Media and Visual Arts; KU Arçelik Research Center for Creative Industries (KUAR) / KU Arçelik Yaratıcı Endüstriler Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (KUAR); Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; N/A; 125323D Food Printing (3DFP) technology is expected to enter homes in the near future as a kitchen appliance. on the other hand, 3DFP is perceived as a non-domestic technology by potential users and domestic users' attitudes and everyday habits received less attention in previous 3DFP research. Exploring their perspective is needed to reflect their daily kitchen dynamics on the design process and discover possible new benefits situated in the home kitchen. on this basis, this study focuses on finding potential 3DFP users and explores their attitudes towards using 3DFP technology in their home kitchens through a two-stage study: First, we prioritized potential users based on their relationship with food through a questionnaire and found six factors that positively affect their attitude towards 3DFP: cooking every day, ordering food less than once a month, eating out at least a couple of times a month, having a mini oven, A multicooker, or a kettle, liking to try new foods, thinking that cooking is a fun activity. Second, we conducted semi-structured interviews with seven participants to discuss the possible benefits and drawbacks of 3DFP technology for their daily lives in the kitchen. Results revealed two new benefits that 3DFP at home may provide: risk-free cooking and cooking for self-improvement. We discuss the potential implications of these two benefits for design and HCI research focusing on how to facilitate automation and pleasurable aspects of cooking into future 3DFP devices.Publication Metadata only Policy europeanisation(Routledge, 2021) N/A; Department of Sociology; Kazanoğlu, Nazlı; Teaching Faculty; Department of Sociology; The Center for Gender Studies (KOÇ-KAM) / Koç Üniversitesi Toplumsal Cinsiyet ve Kadın Çalışmaları Araştırma ve Uygulama Merkezi (KOÇ-KAM); College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AN/APublication Metadata only Who's in control? Varying and changing translations of 'birth control' in Japan(Routledge Journals, Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2021) Department of Sociology; Demirci, Aiko Takeuchi; Faculty Member; Department of Sociology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 310431This article examines how the Japanese conceptualized 'birth control' in the twentieth century by analyzing the various terms its supporters used to describe contraception. The Japanese translations reveal the core ideas that defined the Japanese birth control movement, specifically eugenics and Neo-Malthusianism, during the tumultuous decades surrounding World War II as Japan competed for hegemony in the Pacific. The use of different terms over the decades reveals the struggles among Japanese leaders and intellectuals to 'control' the reproductive fate of the Japanese race.Publication Metadata only Cultural models of nature and society reconsidering environmental attitudes and concern(Sage Publications Inc, 2006) N/A; Department of Sociology; Ignatow, Gabriel; Faculty Member; Department of Sociology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/ASocial scientists have long debated the factors influencing public concern for the natural environment. This study attempts to contribute to this debate by arguing that environmental concern is shaped by both "spiritual" and "ecological" cultural models of nature-society relations and that by distinguishing between these two, we can better recognize the social sources of variation in concern for the environment. An analysis of questionnaire data from 21 nations from the 1993 International Social Survey Program using ordinary least squares regression models shows that spiritual and ecological environmental worldviews have different social bases. Education generally positively predicts the latter but not the former. Patterns of national differences are noteworthy as well. Thus, conceptualizing public concern for the environment in terms of distinct cultural models may be more revealing than focusing on environmental concern as such.Publication Metadata only Europeanisation(Routledge, 2021) N/A; Department of Sociology; Kazanoğlu, Nazlı; Teaching Faculty; Department of Sociology; The Center for Gender Studies (KOÇ-KAM) / Koç Üniversitesi Toplumsal Cinsiyet ve Kadın Çalışmaları Araştırma ve Uygulama Merkezi (KOÇ-KAM); College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AN/APublication Metadata only On environmental concern, willingness to pay, and postmaterialist values - evidence from İstanbul(Sage Publications Inc, 2002) Adaman, F; Zenginobuz, EU; Department of Sociology; Gökşen, Fatoş; Faculty Member; Department of Sociology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 51292The authors explore the impact of geographical proximity of environmental problems on environmental concern and willingness to pay (WTP) for environmental improvement, with emphasis on the relevance of Inglehart's postmaterialism thesis on this inquiry. A questionnaire was administered to 1,565 respondents in İstanbul. The Contingent Valuation Method was used to measure WTP. Sea pollution in İstanbul (local issue), soil erosion in Turkey (national issue), and ozone depletion (global issue) were issues chosen for valuation. The sample was separated into three subsamples, with each being presented with only one issue. Individuals distinguish between local and global environmental concern. People with materialist values rather than postmaterialist values exhibit more concern for local environmental problems. However, postmaterialist values determine WTP for improvement in both the local and the global environmental problems. Distinguishing among concern for environmental issues, which are differentiated on the basis of geographical proximity, has relevance for the ongoing postmaterialist values debate.Publication Metadata only Gender inequality in schooling: the case of Turkey(Sage Publications Inc, 2006) Aytac, IA; Department of Sociology; Rankin, Bruce; Faculty Member; Department of Sociology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/ADrawing on recent research on education in developing countries, this article examines gender inequality in schooling in Turkey. Using a nationally representative sample of Turkish youths, it assesses the effects of macrostructure, family resources, and cultural attitudes and practices on primary and postprimary school attainment. The results show that while locality, family resources, and family structure and culture influence the education of both genders, girls' chances of postprimary schooling are greater if they live in metropolitan areas and in less patriarchal families. Birth-order comparisons indicate that older daughters are less likely to complete postprimary schooling than are their younger sisters. Girls' primary school attainment is facilitated by having other family members who help with child care. The findings are discussed in light of trends in Turkish society and their implications for future research.Publication Metadata only Fragile transitions from education to employment youth, gender and migrant status in the EU(Routledge, 2019) Filiztekin, Alpay; Oker, Ibrahim; Smith, Mark; Department of Sociology; Department of Sociology; Çelik, Çetin; Gökşen, Fatoş; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; Department of Sociology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 105104; 51292Publication Metadata only Social class, institutional habitus and high school choices in Turkey(Routledge, 2018) Department of Sociology; Çelik, Çetin; Faculty Member; Department of Sociology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 105104N/A
