Özlem Irmak Balkız is a Professor in the Department of Sociology at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Aydın Adnan Menderes University, holding a doctorate from Aegean University. Her academic career spans over two decades with consistent contributions to critical labor sociology and gender studies, focusing on the intersection of economic systems and social inequality. Her educational foundation includes: 1988-1992: Licence in Sociology, Aegean University Faculty of Letters 1992-1996: Master’s Degree in Sociology, Aegean University Institute of Social Sciences 1996-2002: Doctorate in Sociology, Aegean University Institute of Social Sciences Professor Balkız’s research interrogates power structures in labor markets through multiple lenses: the feminization of commerce via social media influencers, gendered impacts of microcredit systems, and evolving production models from Fordism to digital capitalism. Her work consistently exposes how neoliberal policies reconfigure exploitation, particularly regarding women’s labor in both formal and informal economies, while critically examining claims of empowerment through financial inclusion. Analysis of her 19 publications (2002-2022) reveals methodical progression from classical labor theory to contemporary digital economies. Early works dissect Fordism and flexible specialization, while recent research investigates social media influencers as sites of creative labor exploitation. A persistent thread connects gender, financialization, and labor control across all periods, demonstrating how microcredit programs and platform economies reshape but do not eliminate structural inequalities. Scientific Awards: No awards listed in available sources Her academic advising and research funding activities remain undocumented in the provided materials, though her extensive publication record suggests significant scholarly engagement. The absence of laboratory or research team information indicates her work likely follows traditional humanities research methodologies rather than lab-based social science approaches.
