This time, thankfully, we didn’t meet to talk about my PhD thesis! Instead, it was a lovely catch-up that left me with renewed motivation — and, more importantly, a promise of future collaborations. 😊 As always, thank you for your time, support, and encouragement @profjohndrury.bsky.social

@alex-hunt-psych.bsky.social presents his work on discursive and rhetorical reconstructions of social systems at #EASP2026. Are the political systems researchers measure the same systems that participants actually think about?

‼️ Writing and witnessing as activism. Documentation, memory, and academic engagement were seen as forms of activism—ways of “keeping receipts” and resisting institutional forgetting. Speaking out, even when uncomfortable, is part of ethical engagement in times of crisis.

Selin Tekin @drselintekin.bsky.social · 12/10/2025
‼️ Resilience, reimagined. Resilience is often celebrated—but it can also be misused to justify state inaction. When understood collectively, however, it represents transformation rather than simple recovery, opening pathways for social change.

Selin Tekin @drselintekin.bsky.social · 12/10/2025
‼️ Collective identity drives cooperation. Research and lived experience both show that people rarely panic in crises. Shared identity fosters cooperation, mutual aid, and solidarity. Recognising this can help design responses that empower communities rather than control them.

Selin Tekin @drselintekin.bsky.social · 12/10/2025
‼️ Neutrality can become complicity. The discussion questioned institutional and professional “neutrality” in the face of injustice, calling instead for ethical responsibility, meaningful allyship, and genuine engagement with affected communities.

Selin Tekin @drselintekin.bsky.social · 12/10/2025
‼️ Language reveals (and hides) power. Phrases like “natural disaster” or “humanitarian crisis” often depoliticise structural violence and inequality. In contrast, explicitly naming acts as “genocide” or “colonial occupation” reframes them as matters of justice, not charity.

Selin Tekin @drselintekin.bsky.social · 12/10/2025
‼️ Emergencies are not neutral. They are socially and politically constructed. How we define an event—as a “disaster,” “crisis,” or “emergency”—shapes public understanding, determines whose suffering is recognised, and influences the kind of response that follows.

thanks for sharing John. One of them happened in Karabük and took very long time to control. besides fires smoke also affected many people in the city (especially the ones who have asthma). In some parts of Turkey the fires still continue.
