Dr. Pelin Gül: female entrepreneurship

Dr. Pelin Gül is the Centre’s assistant professor in female entrepreneurship. She is a social and cultural psychologist, committed to research on the psycho-logical foundations of gender relations and inequality. Drawing on perspectives from social and evolutionary psychology, the primary goals of her research are to:

1. explain how motivational and cultural processes interact to shape support for traditional gender norms and beliefs, and
   
   
2. describe the implications on injustice, violence, and harassment against women at various domains of life, including domestic, health, work and education. This research offers foundations for finding new ways of combating harmful and discriminatory gender practices by offering a more nuanced understanding of the origins of traditional gender norms and why they persist in different societies.
