Course Content
The course deals with the co-constitution of gender and cities at both theoretical and empirical levels. While dealing with the co-constitution of gender and cities, the course aims to take a critical look at cities. This is done by employing four concepts, namely `daily life,` `intersectionality,` `standpoint` and `multiple economies.` At the same time, the course looks into the relevant literature on cities and gender in Turkey both in terms of co-constitution of gender and cities and through the employment of the four concepts.
