Delighted to find out that my article with @ozgeozdu and Bogdan Ianosev published open access in @SocMovStudies. In this paper, we explore the ways the collective identity of the anti lockdown protesters in the UK is formed. https://t.co/Azo37ahoUX

İlk Türkçe makalem 🙌
Sevgili @yasemininceoglu ve Savaş Çoban’ın derlediği Yersiz, Yurtsuz, Sınıfsız kitabında yayımlandı.
Kitap, Türkiye’de göç tartışmalarını sıkıştırıldığı çerçevenin dışına taşımayı amaçlıyor.

@UFamulari kitabın yayımlanma sürecindeki destekleri için @ayrintiyayinevi ne teşekkür ederiz.

[Billur Aslan Ozgul @billuraslan]

Biz de @UFamulari ile birlikte, göçmenler söz konusu olduğunda alternatif bir söylem olup olmadığını kitapta tartışıyoruz.

Using interviews and participant observation, we examined the emotions of anti-lockdown protesters towards news, information and misinformation sources and the political elite while exploring conspiracy coalitions in the protests and the larger affective anti-lockdown atmosphere.

So glad to see this article finally see the light! Out now in @emospasoc: we explore how distinct emotions, distrust and disillusionment, shaped the emergence, mobilisation & persistence of anti-lockdown protests. With @ozgeozdu & Bogdan Ianosev. https://t.co/EtL2AHQcdV

The X account of Istanbul’s twice-elected mayor and opposition presidential candidate Ekrem İmamoğlu has been blocked in Turkey. After failing to silence him through imprisonment, Erdoğan’s government now resorts to digital censorship. A striking example of how Turkey’s authoritarian turn has accelerated by exploiting the illiberal international climate.

The BBC has finally made the protests in Turkey its top headline. It also references X, which shut down 700 opposition accounts in Turkey that supported democracy and called for the release of İmamoğlu, the jailed opposition candidate. https://t.co/xe60CsHTUJ
