At Distance Representation of The Migrants in Turkish Textbooks

In Turkish textbooks, migrants are frequently portrayed as marginalized individuals who are labelled as “needy”, “guests”, and “consumers of limited resources”. These textbooks fail to portray migrants as a constituent element of society neglecting to acknowledge their substantial contributions to both social and economic life. Furthermore, the textbooks disregard the rich tapestry of migrants’ lives, traditions, and cultures by omitting instances of successful migrant experiences. This narrative promotes discontent, hatred, exclusion, and fear towards migrants within educational institutions and society at large. However, defining migrants as the constituent elements of society, highlighting their contributions to social and economic life, and including their culture and traditions in textbooks can play a pivotal role in cultivating positive attitudes and behaviors towards immigrants. A paradigm shift in depicting migrants as essential constituents of society is imperative.

  • Publisher: IGI Global

Traditional and social media are used extensively in terms of public health today. Studies show that social media works much better than other follow-up systems, leading it to become a modern and somewhat new tool for disease coverage and information discovery. The current state of the representation of health and medicine in the media is an important factor to analyze in the field of health communication, especially amidst the onset of a global pandemic. The ways in which the media discusses health, the campaigns that are used, and the ethics around this role of media and journalism are defining factors in the spread of information regarding health.

Gender Justice, Education and Equality

  • Type: Book
  • -
  • Published: 2017-01-23

  • Publisher: Springer

This book reframes gender and education issues from a feminist and capabilities perspective through a multi-generational study of women as teachers. It explores how different understandings of gender, equality and education generate a variety of approaches with which to pursue gender equality in education. Through employing the capabilities approach in a critical and innovative way to question justice, agency and well-being and also to evaluate valued functionings and capabilities, freedoms and lack of opportunities in women’s lives in Turkey it highlights the need for constructing a gender-just society. The book takes a closer look at these women’s memories, in order to understand how gender roles were created, negotiated and contested, and how the transition to modern ways of socialising and existing was shaped and women’s emancipation was guided by women teachers as social actors, rather than as passive onlookers or oppressed individuals. It provides important insights and critical evidence to be used in the planning and implementation of education and social/gender policies.
