Students will be able to:

Map the shifting legal frameworks governing labour (e.g., 1936 Labour Law, post-1980 restrictions).

Explain how ethnicity (Kurdish workers), religion (Alevi labour networks), and gender (women’s factory labour) intersect with class.

Assess the impacts of globalization (EU accession debates, export-processing zones).

Connect labour movements to broader struggles (urban rights, environmental justice).

Debate theoretical concepts (e.g., “precariat” in Turkey’s gig economy).
