Summary/Abstract: In this research the perceptions of women IR academics who work at the universities in the Marmara region, about masculine language of IR discipline will be analysed. Although women academics have been becoming more dominant components of the IR discipline, there is not enough research on how they perceive IR discipline and particularly the masculine language of the IR discipline. With this research, the goal is to fill this gap to a certain extent. Particularly the perceptions of women IR academics about the masculine language of the IR discipline and the issue of masculinisation of women IR academics are tried to be analysed by semi-structured in-depth interviews which may be the basis for further research in this field.
