The study focuses on the Islamic fashion and lifestyle magazine Aysha and draws on a qualitative analysis of the pages offering guidance on religiosity, spirituality and the consumption of leisure. The content of Aysha provides insight about the creative ways in which religion and consumerism are reconciled in Islamic lifestyle media. The study uncovers how the reconciliation is formulated with regard to the relation between religiosity, spirituality and leisure consumption, and argues that Islamic lifestyle media introduces the consumption of luxury leisure as a desirable part of religious and spiritual experiences. Exploring Turkey’s Islamic lifestyle media demonstrates the creative ways in which lifestyle journalism provides narratives that not just express, but also foster new consumerist desires. © 2020 selection and editorial matter, Lucía Vodanovic; individual chapters, the contributors.Item Is there gender equality in employment indicators?

In this respect, social work education and practice draw attention to the social and environmental factors that create and contribute to the problems in social life. In this context, the quality of social work education is based on two principles, theory and practice. The aim of such education is to provide theoretical knowledge to the social worker and to up-skill to perform. In this process, field instruction plays a critical role. In Turkey, the infrastructure of social work education was created by the United Nations in the late 1950s. Since the beginning, the concept of social work practice has been the subject of many discussions and these discussions also continue in relation to social work field instruction. This chapter discusses the challenges and problems experienced in social work field instruction in Turkey. In this context, structural issues; consultancy and supervision; performance evaluation and education/training indicators; record keeping, reporting and remittance issues are addressed. © 2022 selection and editorial matter, Rajendra Baikady, Sajid S.M., Varoshini Nadesan, and M.
