The guest speaker, Asst. Prof. Dr. Müge Neda Altınoklu, shared findings from her postdoctoral research, which is intended for publication. The presentation examined the historical development of stock market investment in Türkiye and analyzed the transformation of investor profiles and structural changes in capital markets.
Based on field research interviews with individuals who have experience in stock and equity investment, she analyzed participation practices and investment motivations. The discussion addressed strategies developed under economic conditions and narratives of investment experiences. Within the context of financialization processes, debates such as “Financial democratization?” and “Transformation of state-society relations?” were raised, evaluating their explanatory capacity regarding stock market participation dynamics in Turkey.
The event, attended by academic staff and students, concluded after the Q&A session and provided a comprehensive discussion platform on the development of stock market investment and investor behavior in Turkey.
