Abstract

[The main goal of this chapter is to understand right-wing populism and troll-science discourses on gender under the public normative order of the current AKP (Justice and Development Party) government. For this I focus on articles published in KADEM Kadın Arasṃtırmaları Dergisi (Journal of Women’s Studies), a pro-government, peer-reviewed so-called academic journal that publishes research on gender and women’s studies. The assumption here is that, the right-wing populist ideologies introduced under the New Turkey has created alternative troll-science discourses within academia, supporting the anti-gender development in Turkey. I show how such troll-science that spread fake information are connoted with religious arguments, such as creationism, and emotionally loaded ideologies that facilitate their easy acceptance in certain circles: in this specific case, ideologically conservative ones.]
