Project Description
My research project titled “Fragmented Futures: Egg Freezing Experiences of Turkish Migrant Women in Germany” focuses on the engagements of Turkish migrant women living in Germany with the technology of egg freezing. The aim of this research is to analyze how their navigation between varying gender ideologies and cultural norms is reflected on their reproductive anticipation and how their migratory experiences shape the way their reproductive futures are made within and beyond national borders. As I am concerned with how Turkish migrant women living in Germany consider, engage with, and reflect on the process of egg freezing, the main method used in this research is semi-structured in-depth interviewing with the following groups of women: a) those who are planning to undergo this procedure and b) those who had already undergone egg freezing.
