Film Diplomacy goes to Ann Arbor! 💙 Had a blast talking about Film Diplomacy at the University of Michigan. I especially loved hearing students & scholars connect the framework to their own research from humanitarian media about refugees to education & policy.

Our conversation will move between scholarship and experience, include how public diplomacy operates on the ground, how its practices have changed, and what it means to think about persuasion, communication, and international relations in today’s political and media environment.

Someone at the book launch asked if writing Film Diplomacy ( @columbiaup.bsky.social) was “a piece of cake.” After years of research, I can confidently say: no 😅 But celebrating it with a cake version of the cover? Excellent. Possibly the first time my book has been called “delicious.” 🍰🎬📘

Kaybettiklerimizi gerçekten saygıyla anmak istiyorsak, suçu tek bir kişiye ya da tek bir kültür ürününe yıkmadan, yapısal nedenleri ve iyileşme yollarını konuşmalıyız.

Jülide Etem @julideetem.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

Bugün ihtiyacımız olan şey daha fazla nefret değil; daha fazla dayanışma, silah kanunları, okullarda ruh sağlığı desteği ve toplumumuzda ve medyada travmayı anlayan bir yaklaşım.

100

Jülide Etem @julideetem.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

Araştırmalar, ağır suçlarla ilişkilendirilen kişilerin ailelerinde damga, utanç, sosyal izolasyon ve görünmez yas yaşandığını gösteriyor.

100

Jülide Etem @julideetem.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

Bir başka önemli nokta da şu: Saldırıyı yapan çocuğun ailesini linç etmek doğru değil. Kamuoyu önünde toptan suçlama; zaten çocuklarını kaybetmiş, büyük bir üzüntü, utanç, korku ve travmayla baş etmeye çalışan aileleri daha da yalnızlaştırır.

100

Jülide Etem @julideetem.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

Bu olaylar sadece doğrudan mağdurları değil, bütün toplumu etkiliyor. Araştırmalar, okul saldırılarından sonra ruh sağlığı sorunlarının arttığını ve etkilerin yıllarca sürebildiğini gösteriyor. Bu yüzden hayatta kalan öğrencilere, öğretmenlere ve ailelere uzun süreli psikososyal destek şart.

100

Jülide Etem @julideetem.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

Evet, şiddet içeren içerikler üzerine tartışmalar var. Ama kanıt, "oyun oynadı, bu yüzden gerçek hayatta okul saldırısı yaptı" demek için yeterli değil. Yani burada kolay cevaplar değil, karmaşık bir gerçekle karşı karşıyayız.

100

Jülide Etem @julideetem.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

Bu mesele, bir çocuğun hangi diziyi izlediğiyle ya da hangi video oyununu oynadığıyla açıklanamaz. Araştırmalar bize; silaha erişim, yoksulluk, eşitsizlik, sosyal dışlanma, kriz anları ve zayıf destek sistemleri gibi toplumsal ve yapısal etkenlerin birlikte düşünülmesi gerektiğini gösteriyor.

100

Jülide Etem @julideetem.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

Bugün, okullarda yaşanan silahlı saldırılar nedeniyle çok derin bir üzüntü içindeyim. Ben de Virginia Üniversitesi'nde bir öğrencinin silahla arkadaşlarını öldürdüğü bir olayın ardından bu konuyu çalışmaya başladım. Bu yüzden şunu söylemek istiyorum: Silah şiddeti tek bir nedene indirgenemez.
