I’m a researcher currently pursuing an MA in Political Science and International Relations at Istanbul University. My academic interests focus on the Middle East, regional power politics, and maritime geopolitics in the Eastern Mediterranean.
I spend a questionable amount of time reading the literature, following regional developments and writing analyses that are usually longer than editors prefer. Many of these pieces were originally written for weekly briefings that never quite found a home, so Medium seemed like a reasonable place to put them. Rather than letting them disappear into a folder somewhere, I decided to publish them here.
And trust me, no one does this job better than a young woman in her twenties, living in the Middle East and passionately devoted to her field.
Support is welcome. It mostly helps me keep writing and pretend this is a respectable use of my time.
