Hatice Yıldız is a Lecturer in Modern Gender History at the University of Edinburgh, and a former Fellow at Merton College, University of Oxford. Her research explores the questions of skill, technology, and temporality in the context of menial work, crafts, and professional labour. She completed her PhD thesis, titled ‘A Comparative History of Gender and Factory Labour in Ottoman Bursa and Colonial Bombay’, in 2017. This study explored the ways in which gendered notions of skill, waged work, domesticity, and technology shaped labour processes and class politics in the silk factories of Bursa and the cotton mills of Bombay between 1850 and 1910. She is currently working on a book project that derives from her PhD thesis.
