International Women's Day
To: Eric Palmer <[log in to unmask]>


This email is meant to bring news to those who recently have been members
and to others who may have an interest in the International Development
Ethics Association's events and publications. If you would like to be
removed from future mailings, please just reply to this email.



*A. Note from the President*

This brief message is sent just at this moment to meet a call for action in
response to the arrest of our colleague İştar Gözaydın. It seems
particularly fitting that this request go out on International Women’s Day.
Please consider signing a petition for the release of our colleague, a
sociologist and political scientist whose focus includes women in urban and
religious policy in Turkey. Details below. I would be glad to provide
further information on Gozaydin’s case if any of you wish for details. We
continue to work with others for her freedom; updates will be available at
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__developmentethics.org_december-2D19-2Darrest-2Dby-2Dturkish-2D&d=DwIFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=Oo4TCJF8pXcsWPDC7Sy8bdP2IJ6ZbST0v2xdYtuNH80&m=lxgN4d_2FWuCzTgSTeMeN6oIc0Ao3_TBBEuVZCFNb-k&s=mKwdFVxkmEDmpbKNTiQcHSWJVFORrLiT1ivmNP7moP8&e= 
authorities-of-professor-istar-gozaydin/ .

Our world is evidently entering unusual and difficult times for the
promotion of international development and for the promotion of ethics
within that process. It seems appropriate for me to acknowledge, on the
heels of such a call for your voice on behalf of a colleague, that IDEA as
an organization has not voiced a concern regarding recent and important
political currents of the past year. The reason for this may be found in
the principles of IDEA’s formation, visible particularly the organization’s
Merida Declaration of 1989: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__developmentethics.org_&d=DwIFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=Oo4TCJF8pXcsWPDC7Sy8bdP2IJ6ZbST0v2xdYtuNH80&m=lxgN4d_2FWuCzTgSTeMeN6oIc0Ao3_TBBEuVZCFNb-k&s=xvPbmBaB2nxq2j2Fm_GsfaVdg2nP7yQXH7zdLkMHn9k&e= 
announcements/declarations-2/. Critical consideration of policy is
certainly a lively concern of IDEA. Critical perspectives upon an
especially pressing concern occupy the pages of the current issue of the
associated journal, *Journal of Global Ethics*. Calls to activism also have
a place. IDEA has not generally taken public stands on policy, however: its
public face and the ethos of the organization up to present reflect the
characteristics of the Merida Declaration.

Your proposals are welcome: If you have thoughts, or have events you would
like to discuss, please do feel free to contact me, or other officers noted
at the end of this message. A summer 2018 IDEA congress is in planning and
other news and conference announcements follow below.

Sincerely,

Eric Palmer

President, International Development Ethics Association

*B. Request for action on incarceration of Istar Gozaydin*

Please consider circulating the following among your colleagues:



Istar Gozaydin is an intellectual, a human rights activists and an
important scholar of Turkish society and politics. After the coup she
expressed her views, condemning the coup but opposing the death penalties.
She was fired from her job shortly after the coup attempt and close to
three months ago was arrested on charges that have not been made
public. She has been incarcerated since 20 December.

At the moment we are organizing a petition from scholars around the world
to ask for her release. Please see below the petition and where to send an
e-mail.

I also ask you to circulate this request among colleagues by facebook or
e-mail lists, to increase exposure and support. Organizers ask that no
signatures be collected from within Turkey, to ensure personal safety and
to ensure that the petition's message will not be characterized as
political alignment.
