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...

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.
