The Turkish Postgraduate Studies Congress (TLÇK), planned to be held in collaboration between the Association of Scientific Studies and Kocaeli University with the support of Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality, was scheduled to take place from April 15th to 17th, 2021. However, due to the global pandemic that emerged during that period, the congress could not be held in person. In order to ensure the permanence of the efforts put forth by the participants, this book was published. The 9th TLÇK Proceedings Book is a comprehensive compilation prepared from the papers accepted among the 650 submissions received for the congress. After the acceptance of 117 papers for the congress, they went through a peer-review and editorial process and were compiled into a 4-volume book.
The Turkish Postgraduate Studies Congress (TLÇK) is a national congress organized to promote interdisciplinary studies in the field of Social Sciences and contribute to quality and original academic production. TLÇK aims to enhance the quality of postgraduate studies and their integration into the academic world by providing young scholars with multidimensional communication and knowledge transfer opportunities. It also aims to overcome the problem of original academic production in Turkey by promoting interdisciplinary approaches and facilitating the development of a common language and methodology.
