Aim and Scope

As Sakarya University, we are planning to organize the “International Interdisciplinary Women’s Studies Congress” between the dates of March 5th, 6th, 7th 2008.

The increasing importance of women’s rights and education in the world brigs out the needs of the adaptation process of our country to EU, social changes, modernization, reassessment of women’s place and importance in Turkey. In this respect, our university aims to gather academic studies on women issue with other related disciplines.

Qualified academic and interdisciplinary studies in the fields such as Culture, language, Literature, Communication, Education, Sociology, Social Works, Social Gender, Work Style, History, Politics, Law and Health that focus on protection of women’s social, political and legal rights, women’s place, family issues, women’s socio-cultural change and education will not only be beneficial for the development of our country but also lighten scientific studies.

The main objective of women’s studies is to discuss the studies on this issue, research problematic fields and produce solution proposals.  Therefore, that would be a great contribution to theoretical and practical studies on women considering the development in our country and the world. Other objective of the congress is to convene academicians and other related authorities, provide sharing of information and experiences.

The last date for sending the full texts is 23.03.2009
