Demanding year. 1st real break. Mandatory digital detox: 5 days offline to reset, then moving into a deep work/research summer. Priorities matter, but so does taking care of oneself. See you all in a few months, take care! 🌿🌊 #deepwork #recharge #wellbeing

Distance engineering and epistemic violence: Kurdish marginalization and the colonial logic of academic inclusion in Turkey
This article examines the spatial and epistemic exclusions of Kurdish scholars in Turkish academia, arguing these are produced through ‘distance engineering’ - institutional mechanisms that force m...

AKP-MHPli tipolojiler geldigimden beri gundelik hayatta haddini fazla aşıyor. Genel bir had zorlama, saygisizlik ve 'merak' sorunu var. Mesud Barzani duzeyinde devreye girerler 'dunyaniz sasar'. O yuzden herkes yerini,olcusunu,"ayarini" bilsin. Benim gibileri oyle 'cakala-cukala' kolay yedirmezler..
Akademide Kurd kadini oldugunu mu zannediyorsnz? Iftiracisi, hasetten geberp yalancisi, laf tasiyani, benim gibilern onunu tikayanlara 'yamamani', hocalarinin cantalarini tasiyp atip tutanlari, is etigini yerle bir edeni vb..Genc nesil yapacak diyordum onlari da hendeklere gomduler. Lanet gelsin.
Koyluluk derken “iftira, haset ve de yalanin” olmasi. Ne ole ne bole olabilen+herseyi para gozuyle goren, dedikoduyu diplomasi sanan,ozlem yasak gibi iftiracilari basimiza bela eden,diasporasi koca koy olan,derinlikten yoksun ve komplexli!Bu konuda ölmeden yazinca anlarsiniz! Utanc erdemdir!

3,400 deaths in a day: India's extreme heat days are deadlier than we imagined
Official counts of "heatstroke deaths" are often low, sometimes just a few hundred in a bad season, because many heat-related deaths are not labelled as such. This implies that the toll could be much ...

Kendine 'feministim' deyip evine geln misafire kocasyla beraber saldiran da gorduk UK'de. Kocasina gore kadinin sucu az,ama beni koruyabilr hic evine cagirmayabilirdi. Ben bagirinca da (migren ataginin hemen oncesindeki evredeyim) pesinden saldiran 'solcu erkekler' de gorduk. Durduramayacaksiniz.
Migren ve Buna bagli saglik isleri zorluyor. Bu toplumun duzeyi de ayrica hirpaliyor. Cok yoruldum.

Geldigimden beri de tuhaf soru+davranışlar goruyorm.Evet Mustafa Nuri Okcuoglu da aile buyuklerimden,akrabam. Cocuklari da oyle..(Bu aile muhabbetlerine pek gerek yok;bilgi yeterli).Dunyayi gezin,okuyun,tartısın,dusunun.Hayat kisa. Herkese demokrat,onurlu ve ozgur bir gelecek dilerim! (Görüntü eski)
After the resubmission of this last RR piece, I promise myself to stay away from the computer screen for two weeks (at least). Otherwise this body will fail me soon #wellbeing #health #reset
Sultanahmet Yesil Ev 90larda babamla cay saati yaptigimiz bir yerdi. Diplomatlarin, entellektuellerin de genelde ugradigi bir yerdi. Son hali mi? Houkah bar ve ortaya karisik! :) (Sabir sabir da arada catliyor insan!). Kanada, Amerika, Ingiltere sonrasi gitmeler yakindir.
I continue to have some health-related challenges, and have only limited time which I have to use for my academic priorities, so I will not be around for a while. Cheers.

Bugun aldigim guzel haber sagolsun. Bir sure beyinde tumor bilgisiyle yasadim. Yetkin bir beyin cerrahi bunun bugun tumor olmadigini soyledi. Sükür! Feeling grateful to learn that I dont have a brain tumor (was living w this bad news for at least a month) #gratitude #process #relief #breathing
Birileri haddini asar da ayari bozarsa is siyasi ve hukuki boyuta gecer ki olacaklardan sorumlu olmam. Geldigimden beri “tuhafliklar” oluyor, an gelir ki ben dursam beni seven ve koruyanlar durmaz. Yaziyorsam vardir sebebi, nokta.
