Unraveling multispecies lifeways
This article explores how socio-ecological crises reshape the Köyceğiz-Dalyan region, Turkey’s first Special Environmental Protection Area, through a more-than-human approach. Based on multi-stage qualitative research conducted between 2018 and 2023, we argue that the region is experiencing interconnected socio-ecological crises that are transforming a long-standing multispecies web of life unique to the area. Our findings highlight two major shi…

The theoretical and empirical underpinnings of the “parenting styles” literature that form the foundation of the research …

The study posits that there are three primary solidarity networks knitted by…

Following Pacholok (2013). I argue that in the unique time and terrain frame of d…

In this manner, women’s football idealizes cis-heteronormative femininity. Wecollected the data of this research, using qualitativ…
The household, the street and the labour market

Based on the findings of qualitative field research conducted in 2015, this study argues that the homosocial solidarity networks among young Afghan migrant boys are developed in three different spatial contexts: the household, the street and the labour market.
