Biography
James Kartal Gülgeçer completed his PhD in education at the University of Glasgow, UK, where his research examined youth transitions, labour market precarity and masculinities in post-industrial Britain. His work critically engages with core themes in the sociology of youth – class, education, work, precarity and transitions – while extending these debates through new analyses of young men’s experiences in deindustrialised cities such as Glasgow and Liverpool.
