He is my future husband. One day we’ll come back to look at this post together and laugh. He is incredible.

More Ramadan beauty: kibbeh, Turkish style.

A very Turkish touch to Ramadan dinners: Güllaç😍

What a cool paper. Emegine saglik.

Two papers from google scholar, both published in 2025 and cited 10 times.

Two of my PhD students' first papers from their projects were both published in 2025 - and they both hit 10th citations each. It's so nice to see them doing impactful research that counts.

I agree that the second point is more controversial - and there is an article that informs my decision academic.oup.com/isq/article-...

I will defend my first point to the grave :) merely saying "first author is queer, second author is hetero, third author is disabled" adds nothing... what are the power dynamics among these people? how did this affect the research process? how did this affect the final product? I want to know that.

Please stop writing positionality statements. Most positionality statements are simply disclosure of identities of authors. There's no point disclosing them without telling how they were intertwined with the research process. In this format, they are simply a product of coloniality.

For those, who want to know about Ramadan, here is a quick fact sheet. When you see your Muslim colleagues, you can wish them "Ramadan Kareem" or "Ramadan Mubarek" - and you don't need to act any differently around them. ing.org/resources/fo...

Ramadan Kareem to all my Muslim friends around the world. I hope you manage to pass this month with inner peace, social connections, & spiritual awakening. For those who live apart from their families, Ramadan can be a lonely month. I extend my invitation to you for an iftar dinner I'll cook. DM me.

Édouard Louis deserves all the praise he gets. His insights are brilliant. His writing is simple looking well crafted genuis. His tone is poignant. I read him with tears in my eyes.

Pillion was okay. It was fun to watch. Much much more could have had happened.

I am going to the cinema at 9.30pm tonight. I think I will take a nap after dinner so that I can handle it.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

What's the fuzz about the new Epstein files? Nothing is going to change in our lives other than knowing that there's no limit to evil. Nobody will be charged or punished.

It’s so difficult to read Sara Ahmed. I want to underline literally every statement. How brilliantly she writes and manages to deliver deep meaning with each word. So relevant and so encompassing. I want to be her.

*How do you *even* respond to that?

A student emailed telling me they saw a flyer of a research study of mine in Chinese, and translated it. The study was about Chinese people's perceptions of masculinity, the student wanted to participate but felt excluded because they are not Chinese. How do you respond to that?

It's horrifying to see what we had said would happen is now unfolding before our eyes. It's not an "I have told you so" moment. Far from it. The moment most of you stayed silent on the genocide in Gaza and the moment our voices meant nothing... that's when we passed a threshold. That's it.

I thought our biggest enemy was Russia.

The audacity to criticize other countries’ treatment of protesters…

Thanks to the invite from Jolanda and Hema, we also wrote a chapter for this book on the influence of Clark and Clark’s Doll Studies on race and racial identity studies. It was a great opportunity pleasure to think about this classic study and write this piece. @hakancakmak.bsky.social

We worked with 33 amazing authors who contributed 17 chapters to this book! They trace the path from the initial findings in the classic study to their subsequent advancements. It invites readers to consider how questions posed decades ago continue to resonate in today's political landscape!

Introducing our edited book, Political Psychology: Revisiting the Classic Studies! @jolanda-jetten.bsky.social
Each chapter considers an influential early study in the field with a fresh perspective. Published by SAGE: au.sagepub.com/en-gb/anz/po...

Ingroup favoritism is such a beautiful euphemism for racism.

We are genetically coded to handle the heat on the tea glass :)

It’s the most special moment of the day. It can last forever😬

What is it about Turkish breakfasts that makes it special?

✨📄 Happy to share our new paper!
