She gave a talk titled “From Silence to Subversion: The Female Voice in Shakespeare's Plays” at Atılım University. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sibel Izmirwill explore Shakespeare's female characters on a continuum from silence to resistance. This comprehensive presentation will discuss how female figures in Shakespeare's plays challenge gender norms, reconstruct silenced voices, and create subversion within the confines of the dramatic text.

The event will provide both a theoretical and critical perspective for participants interested in current academic interpretations of Shakespeare's work. Students, researchers, and anyone interested in literature will have the opportunity to rethink the place of the female voice in classical texts.
