Preview Religion and the State in Turkish Universities: The Headscarf Ban (Middle East Today)

Description:
This book explores educational and cultural experiences of “part-time unveilers” during their degree programs in public institutions in Turkey. The term “part-time unveiler” is coined to refer to undergraduate female students who cover their hair in their private lives, but who remove the headscarf while at a Turkish university as a result of the higher education headscarf ban policy. The book is based on a qualitative study that involved one-on-one interviews with thirty participants. The book highlights how part-time unveilers understand and negotiate the policy, the challenges and opportunities associated with unveiling and the strategies they use in response to these, and the impact of the headscarf ban on part-time unveilers’ sense of identity.
