But Akarsel\u2019s death will also leave large voids in her academic field of jineoloj\u00ee \u2013 the feminist scholarly discipline that rose from the Kurdish political movement \u2013 and in her closely related activist work.<\/p>\n<p>Akarsel was a fierce fighter for women\u2019s rights in a region with a troubling record on the matter, and the scholar described her adopted hometown of Sulaymaniyah as having some of the greatest difficulties regarding gender equality.<\/p>\n<p>Uncowed by these difficulties, Akarsel was a tireless and prolific scholar. She built up a solid reputation for her work on feminism and women\u2019s journalism, and was a significant member of the Jineoloj\u00ee Research Center and an editor of the journal Jineoloj\u00ee, published in Turkish, Kurdish and English.<\/p>\n<p>These themes and topics closely intersected with Akarsel\u2019s journalistic work. At the time of her death, she was working on projects to establish a Jineoloj\u00ee Academy and a women\u2019s library in Sulaymaniyah for Kurdish women.<\/p>\n<p>Watch Akarsel describing her ideas and work in her own words.<\/p>\n<p>Original source : https:\/\/medyanews.net\/slain-feminist-activist-nagihan-akarsels-work-in-her-own-words\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News of the killing of Nagihan Akarsel, a committed feminist activist and scholar, outside her home in Sulaymaniyah shocked the world on Tuesday morning.\u00a0 Dozens of Akarsel\u2019s friends and colleagues flooded social media with messages of their grief and anger at what appears to be the latest in a series of assassinations of prominent Kurdish [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1624,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27,89],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1623","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-in-the-medias","category-video","post_format-post-format-video"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jineoloji.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1623","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jineoloji.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jineoloji.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jineoloji.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jineoloji.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1623"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/jineoloji.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1623\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1630,"href":"https:\/\/jineoloji.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1623\/revisions\/1630"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jineoloji.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jineoloji.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jineoloji.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jineoloji.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
