    Interests, passions and politics: business associations and the sovereignty dispute in Turkey
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) N/A; Department of Sociology; Kılıç, Azer; Other; Department of Sociology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    This paper examines business associations in a context where the state is being contested from below, focusing on Diyarbakir, a major Kurdish city in Turkey. Against the backdrop of armed conflict, reform processes triggered by the country's EU candidacy and socio-economic change, Diyarbakir has become a contested zone over which the Turkish government and the Kurdish movement have been competing for control. Local business associations have also been implicated in such contestation. Considering the situation of dual power and moral economy at the local level, the paper examines how these associations deal with an adverse situation that is characterized by political instability and uncertainty. The analysis shows that business leaders have been able to make the 'best' of the situation.

    Egg freezing experiences of women in Turkey: from the social context to the narratives of reproductive ageing and empowerment
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2018) Göçmen, İpek; Department of Sociology; Kılıç, Azer; Other; Department of Sociology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    This article explores egg freezing experiences of women in Turkey. Since 2014, it has been legal in Turkey to use egg freezing technology for ageing women, while it was previously allowed only for disease-related purposes. In cooperation with a private fertility clinic in Istanbul, the authors conducted 21 interviews with older, single women who held either professional or managerial positions and who were undergoing or had undergone the procedure. Drawing on a qualitative analysis of these interviews, the authors explore the social context in which women postpone motherhood and decide to freeze their eggs. The study also looks at the women's emotional responses to ageing that were triggered by the experience of egg freezing and their narratives of empowerment as a result of the procedure.
