I always wore my Duke hoodie to the airport.I still felt like an armor, a uniform that signaled that “i am a good type“.Whenever I flew from IST and had to take a connection,I was taken to a small room to be searched like a terrorist. Always. 1/2

I’m exhausted. Like my peers, my friends, I’m exhausted. I’m supposed to get on a flight in five days to go home for the first time in seven months, and now I don’t know if I should. I’m scared that this short trip can end up jeopardizing a future I’ve worked so hard to build.

Charitably endowed water fountains are still an important part of local infrastructure in rural parts of Turkey. This one was endowed in memory of Cafer Tonbul, probably a local notable. Kirazlı Köyü, Kuşadası.

I just finished working on a new paper that turned out to be my favorite project to write-maybe due to having family members who shaped the institutions I wrote about. Or perhaps research is super fun when you have an amazing co-author who 100% shares your interests! @TBozcha

I add a perceptual dimension to existing preference formation models over tax rates. I argue that preferences for progressive taxation are shaped by the interplay between subjective income group identification and guesstimation of the rich' earnings. 2/9

I know that the some state-making activities of the Republic of Turkey were very problematic,ex. oppression of the Kurdish population.However, the selfless devotion of those who really tried to bring science, literature, and art to the periphery of the country warms my heart.14/n

While this was all happening, somebody called me "discriminatory" because I complained saying, "I am working at Oxford; why don't they give me a visa for longer? I have no risk of staying here." I am told everybody deserves visas, not only people working at Oxford.

Why are high-income and low-income earners not significantly polarized in their support for progressive income taxation? Does it have to do with the empirical regularity that most people classify themselves as middle-income? 1/9

There is an olive tree on Walton Street in Oxford. I always say hi to her when I walk to Nuffield. She reminds me-esp. in winter- if there is anything worse than being a Mediterranean living in the UK, it is being an olive tree in Oxford.Why would anyone do that to an olive tree?
