Ayşe Gül Altınay and Kristen S. Biehl Öztuzcu's New H2020 Project

SU Gender is entering 2021 with four H2020 projects. Last week a new project was added to our existing portfolio consisting of the GEARING-Roles (2019-2022) project, seeking to strengthen gender equality mechanisms,  and WHOLE-COMM (2021-2025) ve Re-ROOT (2021-2024) projects, examining migration and integration at different urban scales and layers. The RESISTIRE (RESpondIng to outbreaks through co-creaTIve sustainable inclusive equality stRatEgies) project, which was ranked 5th among 162 applications, has recently succeeded in securing funding under the H2020 COVID-19 call. At Sabanci, the project will be led by Ayşe Gül Altınay ve Kristen Sarah Biehl, with Aslı İkizoğlu, Ayşecan Terzioğlu, Gülru Göker and Hülya Adak also taking part in the research team. Being coordinated by the European Science Foundation (ESF) and bringing together 10 institutions from 9 countries,  RESISTIRE aims to understand the impacts of the pandemic from a 'gender+' lens that focuses on intersections of gender and other inequalities, and to develop policy recommendations that learn from and build on successful strategies of civil society.
