The School
of Economics and Management of the University of Minho (EEG) is proud to
announce that Liliana Raquel dos Santos Fernandes, PhD student in Political
Science and International Relations, defended her doctoral thesis entitled
"Women in the 'New Turkey (2007-2022): experiences of (political)
citizenship and the (gender) regime." on July 4, 2024.
According
to the abstract presented by the student, the study highlights the dynamics
between opposition to gender equality and the processes of de-democratization
of political regimes. Based on the Turkish case study, the research identifies
the main areas of intervention for the promotion of gender equality in the
country and presents the implications of public (political-economic)
under-representation for women's heteronomy.
The results
highlight the positive correlation between the weakening of democracy and
opposition to gender equality and identify the obstacles of domesticity to the
promotion of gender equality. In addition, the study looks at the role of
economic dependence in the study of domestic violence and produces an
alternative interpretation of political action that can be extended to contexts
that share the typology of the political regime.
The
doctoral thesis was supervised by Isabel Estrada Carvalhais, Associate
Professor in EEG's Political Science department.
The EEG
congratulates Liliana Raquel dos Santos Fernandes on her defense and wishes her
every professional and personal success.
