Women’s Discrimination in Engineering Faculties: A View from Turkey

Abstract

The aim of this research is to provide support for the hypothesis that academic women are being subjected to acts and attitudes of a gender discriminatory nature in the Turkish context, too. This study can be best described as a phenomenological research. It is based on sixteen interviews made with fifteen women and one male academic between 2008 and 2013 in engineering departments of Turkish universities. Close reading was used to interpret the data. In the interviews, academic women report that they have experienced discrimination in hiring and promotions, as well as discouragement and belittlement due to their gender. The conclusion is that more research is needed to further understand the extent and nature of gender discrimination at Turkish universities.
