As Queer PSY-Force, we are thrilled to announce our upcoming webinar with Researcher Alperen Narmanlı, titled:

“(De)stigmatization within the Context of Religion and Sexual Orientation”

The webinar will be held in English and is open to everyone interested! 

Dr. Çiğdem Bağcı is a social psychologist whose research focuses on group processes, intergroup relations, social identity, prejudice, and minority experiences. She holds a PhD in Psychology from Goldsmiths, University of London, and has received prestigious awards like TÜBA GEBİP, Tübitak Teşvik 2022, and BAGEP Young Scientist Award.

In an era where AI tools like ChatGPT or other LLMs are reshaping how we think, write, and research, how do we, as social scientists, adapt responsibly and creatively?

Dr. Emre Busse presented "Ethnicity as Desire: Post-Colonial Gay Pornographic Film in Europe", one of the first talks on pornography studies in Turkey.

A guided discussion on Fausto-Sterling's framework for understanding gender/sex development. This webinar will provide an exploration of the interplay between biology, sensory input, socialization, and subjective experience in early development. It will also offer a space for participants to reflect, ask questions, and engage in meaningful dialogue.

Together we explored "The Buried Secrets: Desire, Loss, & Cannibalism in Julia Ducournau’s Raw", this session will be led by Dr. Gizem Damla Cakmak.

We instigate much-needed conversations on the contemporary issues surrounding feminism, TERF wars, gender-based violence, sexual liberation, queer academic/activist endeavours and feminist/queer means of solidarities and care.
