I'd like to reiterate what I said on a publication workshop for graduate students today as I believe it is central to being an academic as a calling: You cannot put this profession on autopilot as it necessitates your critical and analytical facilities, constantly.+

"It is long overdue that patriarchy and issues of gender are treated as central to the study of the states and political regimes. (...) patriarchy stands in the way of democracy and equal citizenship. (...) patriarchy provides a lens through which the legitimacy of a regime is judged." 💡

Title: Patriarchy and political regimes: the role of patriarchal narratives in neopatrimonialism, populism, and the rise of the far right Author: Meral Ugur-Cinar Abstract: This article is written with the motivation to call for more interaction between the fields of gender studies and the study of political regimes. Approaching the Turkish case in comparative perspective, it aims to demonstrate the necessity to bring the study of gender to the foreground of comparative politics and specifically the study of issues such as states, political regimes, political parties, and social movements. In what follows, I explain why gender studies need to have a central place in the study of political science and comparative politics in particular instead of being seen solely as the study of male domination. I demonstrate the crucial role patriarchy plays in neopatrimonialism, populism, and far right politics. I show that understanding the link between authoritarianism and patriarchy is key in making sense of the authoritarian dynamics in politics. Being able to understand this link, on the other hand, can serve as a vital springboard in imagining more democratic, pluralistic, and inclusive political futures, as some social movements have tried to show us.

23 Nisan kutlu olsun. Cumhuriyet ve demokrasi öyle bir günde, öyle susarak, öyle korkarak kurulmadı. Azimle, kararlılıkla, cesaretle, vicdanla kuruldu. Elbette gelecek nesillere taşınması da öyle olacak, olmalı... Geleceğe kendi ömründen büyük bir miras bırakanlara saygıyla...

Two participants in our Zoom writing solidarity group yesterday shared fantastic news. One just defended her dissertation and one just submitted hers. Both have been group members for over a year (we're in Week 92). If you know of MENA students who could benefit or want more info, please reach out!
