The section goes beyond a single article; it includes several pieces and a short introduction. This project is the result of years of effort and collaboration with Emmanuel Szurek. I am very happy to see it published.

This special issue of the European Journal of Turkish Studies features a section called “Le Meurtre et la Langue,” co-authored by Emmanuel Szurek and me, which explores how early republican popular educators discussed the genocide in 1930s Turkey.

What is a “münevver” in 1930s Turkey? Caricature published on Akbaba, nº10, 15 February 1936. Look, Ahmet Ağaoğlu has written an article called “Debts of the Intellectuals.”I do not believe that. Who lends money to intellectuals? ş In...

My article about the category of "münevver" in 1930s Turkey is finally published. I dedicate it to my cat Nuri—who always politically intervened in the name of his enlightenment.

Two dead, hundreds arrested during PSG Champions League celebrations Around 200 people were injured, 21 of whom were policemen. One officer is in an induced coma after being hit in the face by fireworks. #EuropeNews

When researching the history of refugees, it's easy to end up with a bibliography dominated by women—and honestly, it's refreshing

If you mentor students from MENA, please consider sending them my way.

I started a Zoom writing solidarity group after the 2023 earthquakes, and we’re still active. This week, members said it was a helpful space after a devastating hotel fire in Turkey.

Please reach out if our group might help.

I know nobody cares but X also blocked accounts of many journalists and news outlets in Turkey. It is not only “toxic” it is against the press freedom.

I was so excited to take in this view after sixteen months of being unable to visit that I couldn’t even manage to capture a proper picture. Istanbul is Istanbul—no matter how gruelling the political and economic situation, nothing can take Istanbul out of Istanbul.

🧵 Can we create a “Modern European History 1789-1989” ugrad survey-course reading list of core, must-read, ‘big picture’ (i.e. *not* gender-focused), English-language texts—ideally monographs—that were NOT WRITTEN BY (WHITE) MEN?
