The IAFFE in ISTANBUL - 2000 Conference aims to bring together new and
innovative insights from various disciplines to contribute to the
development
of feminist approaches to economics. It will promote the breakdown of
traditional disciplinary barriers in order to understand the economic
interrelations and structures that constitute and change the lives of men
and women.
We hope that the conference will provide an excellent opportunity to
present, share and discuss new insights with colleagues within
and beyond the economic discipline and with activists and
policy makers from all over the world.
We kindly request you to bring this conference to the attention of your
colleagues and anyone else who might be interested. A brochure may

CONFERENCE VENUE
Istanbul, the country's commercial and cultural center and metropolis with
a population over 10 million creates over 20% of the nation's gross output.
The former capital of two empires, the city has inherited a rich and unique
collection of Byzantine and Ottoman masterpieces of art and architecture,
as well as a beautiful natural setting to offer inhabitants and visitors
alike.
Robert College, founded in Istanbul by Dr. Cyrus Hamlin and Mr. Christopher
Rheinlander Robert in 1863, was the first American institution of higher
learning outside the United States. In 1971, after over hundred years of
superior service to the nation and to the academic community at large,
its Board of Trustees turned over Robert College to the Turkish Government.
Thus, Bogazigi University, the official successor to Robert College, was
inaugurated on the same campus in 1971.
Bogazigi University is situated on a hill on the European side of the
Bosphorus after which it is named. It overlooks the Rumeli fortress
built in 1452 and the two new suspension bridges connecting the
European and the Asian (Anatolian) parts of the city. Because of the
University's unique setting it enjoys a peaceful and magnificent view
over the Bosphorus, but is within easy reach (a 30-minute drive) of the
cultural facilities of the city center. The ancient buildings, renovated
within the last few years, and the carefully preserved surrounding
woodlands add distinction to this most attractive university campus.
