Nilüfer Göle (born 1953) is a Turkish sociologist, Marxist, and a contemporary Turkish academic who specializes in the political movement of today's educated, urbanized, and religious Muslim women.
From 1986 to 2001 a professor at the Bogaziçi University in Istanbul, she is currently Directrice d'études at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS), Centre d’Analyse et d’Intervention Sociologiques (CADIS), in Paris.
Göle is the author of Interpénétrations: L’Islam et l’Europe and The Forbidden Modern: Civilization and Veiling.
Through personal interviews, Göle has developed detailed case studies of young Turkish women who are turning to the tenets of fundamental Islamic gender codes.
Her sociological approach, which is underpinned with Socialist and Marxist ideology, has also produced a broader critique of Eurocentrism with regard to emerging Islamic identities at the close of the twentieth century.
She has explored the specific topic of covering, as well as the complexities of living in a multicultural world.
