Neoliberal Policies and Higher Education: A Comparison Between Sociology and Psychology Departments in Turkey
Öz
Today,
neo-liberal policies are changing the higher education arena. Students and the
corporations, that are their future employers, expect universities to operate
and supply knowledge which can only be market-relevant. The transformation of
Turkey’s higher education system is parallel to the stated global
transformation of higher education systems through neoliberal policies. When we
look at Turkish higher education, we see that even though sociology and
psychology disciplines are both branches of social sciences, in comparison to
public universities, following market demand, establishing a psychology
department is preferred to establishing a sociology department by private
universities.
