Dr. GÜCENMEZ's research centers on Labor Economics, Industrial Relations, and Gender Dynamics within Turkish socioeconomic contexts. Her work critically examines neoliberal welfare reforms, digital transformation's impact on labor markets, gendered vulnerabilities in disasters, and historical analyses of social policy evolution, with particular focus on income inequality and social justice frameworks.
Her publication trajectory (2017-2025) reveals intensifying engagement with contemporary crises: post-earthquake gender studies (2023-2024), pandemic-era biopolitics (2021), and climate change social dimensions (2025). Recent works increasingly integrate mixed-methods approaches analyzing material deprivation through NUTS regional classifications and theoretical frameworks like Bauman's liquid modernity.
