Academic bio
Feyda Sayan-Cengiz is an Assistant Professor of Political Science and International Relations at Manisa Celal Bayar University in Turkey. Her fields of research include political sociology, politics of gender, right-wing populist politics, Islamic consumption and lifestyle, and self-help culture in Turkey. Her research explores how neoliberal and neoconservative discourses are reflected in popular culture, and self-help culture. Her recent study looks into the role of Turkey’s Islamic self-help texts in articulating neoconservative discourses on gender difference and female subjectivity with neoliberal conceptions of self-monitoring individuals (please see link below for an open access full-text of the article). She is currently working on Turkey’s Islamic and secular self-help cultures in comparative perspective, to delineate the ways in which self-help culture relates to the rise of authoritarian and populist politics.
