Women garment workers and collective labour organisation: neoliberal labour regimes, patriarchal ideologies and social reproduction in Turkey

This research aims to analyse how the relationships between class and gender affect and are affected by the processes of labour organisation and collective struggle in the Turkish garment industry through an in-depth examination of these relations across the productive and reproductive realms. While doing so, it will apply a feminist political economy and historical materialist approach which understands class and gender as interrelated social relations, and in constant dialogue with other social relations (such as ethnicity, religion, migration and age).
