Ilk defa daha hızlı okumuş olurum diye bir akademik makalenin Türkçesini okuyayım dedim 😳Her cümleyi iki kere okudum ve sürekli cimri çalışmalar”‘dan bahsediyor, ısrarla anlayamadım 🙈meğer “parsimonious studies” miş..🙈🙈 Galiba alanımı kendi dilimde anlamıyorum 😬
Yeterlilik dönemimde buzdolabımız bozuldu.Rasyonal aktörler olarak yumurta ve sütümüz bozulmadan kek&poğaça yapalım bari dedik. 1 tepsi kek& 3 tepsi börek oldu & 3 saatimiz gitti😬 En azından sınavı geçemezsem bakery açmak için gerekli skill setini geliştirdiğime inanıyorum artık
Büyük dedemin istiklal harbinde kazanmış olduğu madalya :)💕 Elime aldığımda çok duygulanmıştım, umarım ona layık torunlar olmayı başarabiliriz, cumhuriyete ve demokrasiye sahip çıkarız 🙏🏻

Tam aklımdan keşke karpuz olsaydı diye geçiriyordum ki Türk komşumuz iki dakika sonra çat diye karpuzla kapıda belirdi, sağolsun biz de yeriz diye getirmiş :D Bu sefer dilek hakkımı güzel bir şeyde harcadığımı düşünüyorum
I am thankful to everyone who joined my panel and my discussants. They all provided great comments and feedback.This year’s

was fantastic. As usual, one of the best parts of the conference was meeting with friends and many distinguished collegues.
Kafkaslardan sürgün edilerek geldikten bir süre sonra hem çanakkale hem kurtuluş savaşında savaşmış büyük dedem. Ruhları şad olsun. Tüm insanlık için savaşın gerekmediği ve sürgünün olmadığı, bu kavramların bilinmediği bir gelecek var olur umarım

Yesterday I spent four hours on grading 10 papers and still not satisfied with it. On the one hand I want to give all of them great grades and tons of hugs in all this craziness, and remind them that grades are not everything, on the other hand I feel obliged to be fair to all🥺
I would like to celebrate the

of all of the amazing women in my life including my hard-working collegues, teachers in academia, my family and all women of the world who are all capable of great things. Happy womens day! 🌸🎉🎊
I am happy to attend and present at this years 8th annual “Four corners conflict network” conference in Utah and receive great feedback. There were so many interesting researches as well 👇🏻
Kritik eyaletlerden biri olan Arizonayı incelediğimizde; buranın genellikle cumhuriyetcilere oy verdiğini ve 2016 yılında Trump’ın oyların yüzde 49’unu alarak kazandığı bir yer olduğunu görüyoruz (Hilary 45%).
Cup cake kabı olmayınca ve satın almaya gidemediğimiz için önce kendim cup cake kabı yaratmaya çalıştım ancak bu experiment sonrasında ilk Türk usulü cupcake‘i yaratmış oldum 🙈 Artık yaratıcılıkta sınır tanınmayan günlere resmen gelmiş olduk xD
Including my mother, I would like to celebrate World Teachers’ day of all of my amazing professors, teachers and colleagues who inspires me everyday and reminds me that I chose the right profession🙂🙏🏻🌸🌷Happy Teachers day! ✨✨
I think you know that you are in Arizona when you consider 38, 37 degrees as cool and it excites you because you can finally go outside :D (there is even 34 C’ now for two days!!!)
Anahtarlığımı posta kutusunun orada düşürdükten iki saat sonra komşumuz eve getirdi, nasıl diye sorunca meğer anahtarlıktaki posta kutusu anahtarını bütün posta kutularında denemiş oradan da evimizin numarasını hesaplamış. Böyle insanların varlığı gerçekten çok mutlu ediyor 🙏🏻❤️

Seçim gecesindeki son durumda Biden’nın yüksek ihtimalle kazanacağı düşünülen eyaletler: North Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania (margin of error’ün dışında kalıyorlar) ve kritik öneme sahip eyaletlerden biri olan Arizona.
(2) Our paper “develops a framework for examining the grand strategies of great powers through the use of the role contestation literature” We argue that “long-term consensus on certain roles may coalesce into the enduring ingredients of grand strategies..,”
Turkish citizens in the US already face long drives and high costs to exercise their right to vote. Limiting voting days would exacerbate the challenges they already face
After these results, the Supreme Electoral Board announced that people living in the United States are only going to be able to vote on May 20 and 21. People living in Europe will be able to vote between May 20 and 24. Two days vs. five days. This is voter suppression!
We had some great conferences this year and received really good feedback. It was again great seeing friends and professors; and meeting with new collegues
Happy to be recognized by

Final donemimde yan komsum o kadar yuksek sesle sarki dinliyor ki, sarkilari shazam’layabiliyorum. Makaleleri bitiremedim ama an itibariyla metal sarkilar playlist im olustu, isteyenlerle paylasabilirim
Arizona's surreal, almost "out of this world" appearance has always amazed me and reminded me of how “mars” might look like. I think it is one of the “must see” places in the world
Yolda yaşanan bütün aksiliklere rağmen (lastiğin patlaması dahil) sonunda oyumu kullanabildim 🙏🏻 Umarım bütün bu emeklerimiz boşa gitmez ve ülkemiz için güzel yarınlarımız olur 🌸🌸🌸
This year I am teaching my very first in-person class and I have to say that all of my students seem very enthusiastic to learn and they all are really bright and nice. This reminds me why I always liked teaching in the first place 🌸🌸

Akşam akşam aklıma katmer, sahlep ve tatar çiğ böreği geldi :( Şansıma üçü de burada yapılamayacak ve bulunmayan şeyler. Burada restoran açmak isteyen Türkler lütfen bu lezzetlerimizi de unutmayalım🙏🏻
(3) “..while the existence of a high amount of role contestation between leaders and political factions over roles may suggest foreign policy is guided by more temporary foreign policy beliefs.” We demonstrate it through examining the case of contemporary China
Today marks a momentous occasion as Turkey’s election day unfolds, carrying the potential for a historically significant election. May the essence of democracy prevail as we collectively aspire for a better tomorrow 🎉

Aralıksız 3 gündür yoğun şekilde STATA’da kod yazıyorum ve artık bütün kısaltmaları ve ya da yazım hatalarını data isimleri olarak algılamaya başladım. yaklaşık 10 dakikadır introIR hashtag ini IntroIR.dta olarak görüp ne demeye çalışmış acaba diye düşünüyorum🤦🏻♀️Mola zamanı gelmiş
Protestolar sebebiyle Arizona’da da bu akşamdan itibaren bir haftalık sokağa çıkma yasağı ilan edildi. Protestolar Amerika’da 30 şehre yayılmış durumda ve protestocular sorumlu 4 polisin de ceza almasını ve tutuklanan polisin de cezasının ağırlaştırılmasını istiyor

: Arizona Governor Doug Ducey has issued a statewide curfew at 8 p.m. for one week, following violent protests and looting in Phoenix, Scottsdale.
Political Scientists began to develop tests to identify election fraud which is based on Benford’s Law (human attempts to manipulate results leave traces behind). Benford’s law “describes a pattern for the frequency distribution of digits in numbers that occurs in many settings”
Wuhan’da şehir içerisindeki bütün ulaşım durdurulmuş (tren, havayolu, otobüs). Çinde bu virüsten etkilenmiş olan şehirler de ikinci grafikte görülebilir. Hubei bölgesi (Wuhan burada) en çok etkilenen bölge. Pekin (10) ve Shanghai (9) da en çok etkilenen şehirler arasında.
ASU gerçekten online eğitimde Amerikanın en iyi sistemlerinden birine sahip olduğunu bu krizde kanıtladı. Online’da sadece derslere çok hızlı ve etkili bir geçiş olmadı, aynı zamanda üniversitenin bütün sistemlerinde (counseling services’den Tutoring centers’a kadar) oldu.

A very useful thing that I learned accidently using R today and wanted to share for those that might be in need: if would like to drop out rows with missing values but want to keep track of where they were: use na.exclude() command instead of na.omit() command.
Pazartesi itibarıyla biz de online eğitime geçmiş olucaz. Arizona devleti state of emergency ilan etti. Bir apocalypse filminin içindeymişim gibi hissettirmeye başladı herşey. Umarım bu corono çılgınlığı yakında son bulur 🙏🏻
Can't believe my little cousin is graduating high school this year! 🎓 Time flies – feels like just yesterday that I used to take him to the playground. To many more achievements ahead! 🎊🎉
In these difficult times, I greatly appreciate and respect the hard work of

staff and leadership, their crises-management style and their emphathetic leadership. It is definitely not an easy decision..
“Democracy endures only if it is self-enforcing. It is not a contract because there are no third parties to enforce it. To survive, democracy must be an equilibrium at least for those political forces which can overthrow it.” (Prezeworski 2006)
Chinese have an interesting traditional aphorism that says “those above have their policies, we below have our countermeasures” (上有政策, 下有对策). It seems to explain the dynamic between different levels of authority in countries well
Kant accepts Hobbes’s description of a state of war among nations but argues that balance of power could not prevent war(this peace will be tenous). A positive peace could be developed within a federation of liberal republics(that rested on democracy,interdependence,intr law&IOs)
اگر علاقمند به دنبال کردن آمار رأی های اولیه انتخابات آمریکا هستید، لینک زیر را ببینید. تا کنون نزدیک 18 میلیون رأی به صندوق انداخته شده است
Early vote statistics 👇
Bu seçimin en ilginç yanlarından bir diğeri Amerika’daki çok yüksek oy verme oranı (turn out rate). Şu ana kadar yüz milyon insan oy verdi, ve tahminler doğrultusunda giderse Amerka’nın şu ana kadarki en yüksek oy verme oranı olucak gibi. Data aşağıda👇🏻
Postayla yollanan oylar Amerikada gelmeye devam ediyor. Amerika’daki son duruma göre Biden Michigan ve Wisconsin’i kazandı görünüyor (projected). Nevada & Arizona’da ise hala önde. Georgia’daki farkı ise kapatmak üzere. Biden Nevada ve Arizonayı alırsa 270 sayısına ulaşmış olucak
Economics’e göre Arizonada Joe Biden’nın çok önde olduğu görülüyor. Arizona’da oyların yüzde 60’ı Maricopa County’den gelmekte, dolayısıyla seçim gecesi eyaleti kimin kazanacağı bu county’den gelen sonuçlara göre aşağı yukarı belli olucak.

More than *2,000* political scientists have now signed our open letter calling for President Trump to be removed from office immediately. His actions show he is unwilling or unable to fulfill his oath to protect and defend the Constitution.
I think understanding the meaning of science is quite important, hence I wanted to write on it. So what is science?First and foremost it is considered to be a critical method as well as a culture. Popper (2003) indicates that science is not a static set of beliefs to be conserved
2020 Başkanlık seçimleri epey heyecanlı başladı. Iowa’da Cumhuriyetçilerin adayı kesin gibi görünürken, Demokratların oyları hala yayınlanmadı. Buttigieg kazandığını ilan etti ancak Bernie campaign öyle olmadığını söylüyor
(1) I would like to share a very easy and good looking pie chart code for beginner level R users; It was very helpful for me after trials of several other codes;
slices<-c(30,20,50)
lbls<-c(“A”, “B”, “C”)
pct<-round(slices/sum(slices)*100)
Amerkalılara para desteği sağlamayı öngören 2 trilyonluk stimulus package Amerika’da senato tarafından biraz önce kabul edilmiş. Toplamda 3.2 milyon Amerkalı bu süreçte işsiz kalmış. Inanilmaz bir rakam
Probably one of the hardest things I experienced in English so far :) Every time I want to say “kolay gelsin”, I just can’t find the right expression in English and instead stay silent 😅
(1)Prospect theory tells us that people tend to value what they have more than comparable things they do not have,and the disutility of relinquishing a good is greater than the utility of acquiring it.(loss aversion)That is why people more sensitive to losses than gains,overvalue
