    Gold-Collar Jobs for Women in Turkey
    (Istanbul Univ, Fac Letters, Dept Sociology, 2016) Sener, Meltem Yilmaz
    This study contributes to the lierature on gold-collar knowledge-work by reflecting on its gender aspect. It focuses on work experiences of women who graduated from elite Turkish universities and were educated as highly skilled employees. This study also discusses ways in which women doing gold-collar knowledge work are treated differently and types of harriers they face because of their gender. Moreover, it explains of what, in their case, the glass ceiling is composed. The study reflects on whether these women's families practice a gendered division of labor and to what extent the women's domestic responsibilities impact their careers. Depending on in-depth interviews, it argues that male-dominated organizational cultures, combined with unequal division of responsibilities especially related to child-care, negatively affect these women's careers and force them to shift from gold-collar to routine white-collar work.

    How the World Bank manages social risks: implementation of the Social Risk Mitigation Project in Turkey
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2015) Sener, Meltem Yilmaz
    This paper aims to assess the World Bank's social risk management approach to poverty by focusing on the implementation details of the Social Risk Mitigation Project in Turkey, a World Bank project that depends on this approach. The paper looks at the approach through the concept of neoliberal governmentality, as an attempt to produce responsible poor citizens during a period when the responsibility for providing social services is transferred to the market and the family. By using field research it demonstrates that, with the intervention of local factors, several unintended consequences emerge in the implementation of a social risk management project. The article concludes that these outcomes, although not planned or intended, have all been instrumental in depoliticising poverty and the poor in the country. Moreover, in spite of all the problems and dissatisfaction, thanks to the Bank's own portrayal, this project has contributed to the image of the Bank as a development institution that achieves successes in its fight with poverty.
