The Dicle Koğacıoğlu Article Award has been presented since 2010 by SU Gender, with the support of Sabancı University Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, in memory of our colleague and friend, sociologist Dicle Koğacıoğlu, who passed away in 2009, to support gender-focused research on Turkey and to encourage young researchers working in this field. Graduate and doctoral students, as well as researchers who have received their master's degrees within the last two years, can apply for the award.
