Ayşegül Güneyli
After studying Sociology and Psychology at Koç University in Istanbul, Ayşegül went on to do a quantitative research master in Social Sciences at the University of Amsterdam. Then in September 2022, she moved to Nijmegen to start her PhD at Radboud University’s Sociology department. As her research interests include inequalities in paid work and informal care, she focuses on gendered work-care patterns that emerge over the life course and their economic and subjective wellbeing consequences. Next to her passion for research, Ayşegül feels truly in the flow when she is in the middle of a challenging table tennis match, or is playing fun games of any kind!
