Researcher and writer (b. 21 September 1941,
İstanbul - d. 18 January 2021). She spent her childhood and teenage years in abroad. She graduated
from Paris Sorbonne University, Department of Sociology (1973). After returning
to Turkey, she became the assistant in İstanbul University, Faculty of
Economics (1974). She got the title of doctor of Sociology. She became the
assistant professor and transferred to the Faculty of Politics of the same
University in 1980. She became a professor. Besides, she worked as lecturer in
Bilkent and Marmara Universities.
She has still been working as lecturer in
İstanbul University, Faculty of Politics. The articles on religion and politics
of Vergin, who is a member of various international social sciences
associations, were published in the newspaper Yeni Yüzyıl and other reviews.
She refutes the thesis that “the change in social science is very slow” in her
book Siyasetin
Sosyolojisi (Sociology of
Politics). She argues out the events occurred after 1980 like collapse of
Soviet Union, high increase in the international migration, ethnic wars and
globalizating economy, against the opinion that the knowledge is not renovated
frequently like in medicine or engineering sciences. She handled the
works of new searches like Habermas, Foucault, Mouffe, in addition to the theorists
of classical sociology of politics in Siyasetin
Sosyolojisi (Sociology of
Politics).
