Prof. Dr. Gökce Yurdakul

Prof. Yurdakul erforscht derzeit, wie Migration, Zugehörigkeit und gesellschaftliche Grenzen in Europa und Kanada entstehen und wirken – mit Fokus auf Geschlecht, Körper und Repräsentation. Sie untersucht, wie Migrantinnen und Migranten in Medien, Recht und Politik dargestellt werden, welche Barrieren sie beim Zugang zu Beschäftigung und sozialen Ressourcen erleben, und wie zivilgesellschaftliche Organisationen mit Geflüchteten arbeiten. Ihre Erkenntnisse helfen Behörden, Organisationen und Unternehmen, Integrationspolitik, Personalentwicklung und Kommunikation evidenzbasiert zu gestalten – besonders in Bereichen wie Arbeitsmarktintegration, Antidiskriminierung und intersektionaler Diversität. Sie kombiniert dabei qualitative Interviews, Medienanalyse und partizipative Methoden, um die Perspektiven von Migrantinnen und Migranten selbst sichtbar zu machen.

• Citizenship and Immigration: Multiculturalism, Assimilation, and Challenges to the Nation-State

  2008

  Annual Review of Sociology · DOI

  Citizenship encompasses legal status, rights, participation, and belonging. Traditionally anchored in a particular geographic and political community, citizenship evokes notions of national identity, sovereignty, and state control, but these relationships are challenged by the scope and diversity of international migration. This review considers normative and empirical debates over citizenship and bridges an informal divide between European and North American literatures. We focus on citizenship within nation-states by discussing ethnic versus civic citizenship, multiculturalism, and assimilation. Going beyond nation-state boundaries, we also look at transnational, postnational, and dual citizenships. Throughout, we identify methodological and theoretical challenges in this field, noting the need for a more dynamic and comprehensive understanding of the inter-relationships between the dimensions of citizenship and immigration.

• Culture of Honor, Culture of Change

  2001

  Violence Against Women · DOI

  This article presents a feminist analysis of honor killings in rural Turkey. One of the main goals is to dissociate honor killings from a particular religious belief system and locate it on a continuum of patriarchal patterns of violence against women. The authors first provide a summary of the defining characteristics of honor killings and discuss the circumstances under which they are likely to occur. Second, they discuss modernization versus traditionalism in Turkey, emphasizing the contradictory forces in a culture of change. Third, they discuss conflict orientations in understanding violence against women, starting from some of the assertions and assumptions of the Marx/Engels hypothesis and socialist feminism, and comparing and contrasting the radical feminist orientation with the materialist orientation. Fourth, the authors give examples of honor killings in Turkey that have been recorded in recent years, specifically highlighting the common threads among these heinous crimes. The patterns observed are more supportive of the radical and socialist feminist orientations than the Marx/Engels hypothesis. The article ends with modest suggestions about breaking the cycle of violence against women, emphasizing the personal, social, structural, and global links in engendering positive change.
