For Arab Weekly, I wrote about the growing femtech industry in the Middle East and North Africa, where the market is projected to exceed $3.8 billion by 2031, with more than a third of the region's femtech firms based in the United Arab Emirates.

The betrayal of Turkey’s youth

With over 27% of 15-to-34-year-olds out of work and a growing number of university graduates unable to find jobs, many young Turks are leaving the country in search of better opportunities abroad. For Asia Times, I wrote about the bleak outlook for Turkey’s future as a generation of young Turks faces declining higher education quality and an insufficient job market.

Turkey’s era of cultural desiccation

For The Arab Weekly, I wrote an article examining how the AKP, as the ruling party for the past two decades, will be remembered for its tenure marked by slashed arts budgets, weakened cultural institutions, marginalized artists, and the stifling of artistic diversity.

Letter from Tashkent

For Issue 67 of Cornucopia Magazine, I wrote an essay on my first impressions of Tashkent and the memories its untouched cityscape evoked.

I wrote an exhibition review for STIR World on Yapı Kredi Culture and Art Center’s group exhibition States of Earth, featuring works by 11 contemporary artists that address ecological concerns and the need for equitable resource management.
