Selam!
I'm Göktuğ (they/he), a master's student in Linguistics at Hacettepe U. Also: millenial/90s kid from Turkey, kuir/queer, computer lover/hater.
My interests are still in flux but mostly revolve around studying how privileged identities are built discursively. Metascience and computing in (social) sciences (and humanities) are my secondary interests.
I'll use this account for posting "scholarly" stuff in the broader sense. My main is @cadxdr.

#introduction Selam! I'm Göktuğ; a Türkiyeli 90s kid, an eternal grad student, a boring dork with too many notebooks.
Doing an MA in linguistics, my thesis concerns discursive identity building in a particular privileged consumption community. As a wannabe researcher, I am interested in discursive construction of privileged identities, and the interface between discourse and reality.
Other than that I am a stationery nerd, a computeing geek, and a bookworm on hiatus. 1/2

it deffo comes off as concern for local LGBTQ+ when you are only finally concerned about equality in Qatar when it comes time to travel there for a bullshit sports event during a global pandemic

World Cup in Qatar and homophobia
@attribot Welp, it would have been nice if white colonists hadn't set up all these oppressive regimes with local patriarchal elites, wouldn't it? And then if they didn't make them rich with colonial money, and then if they didn't help build and enrich their cities built on slave labour, and then if they hadn't let them do these organisations the venues of what are again built on slave labour with white money flowing unceasingly into petrol baron pockets.

BlackinMarSci ; cops called by hotel; birdsite link
This is horrific. Having the police called on you by a hotel while supervising students. This is an extra burden no one should have to carry.

I wish we had an alternate name for "ethnographic" studies that doesn't evoke bad anthropology.. given especially a lot of interesting research is being done recently using ethnographic methodologies.
thesis writing question
does it make sense to start writing a methods chapter before anything else, as you're doing your analytical work / experiments?

"[... Host] JPB Gerald and guest Alex Kapitan discuss Alex's work in the world of copyediting and how Alex resists the oppressive structures of the field", and how copyediting can be and may be made not to be a muffler on marginalised voices.

If you would be so kind I'm looking for good/your favourite resources describing mechanisms and criticisms of how funding 
for scientific work shapes technological possibility 
and political discourse about technology.

This is a really special episode for me because two PhD students, two scholars with ADHD, here are talking about their childhood and school life.

two statements about libraries
1. universities are just a range of architecture surrounding a library
2. today is my first day at the library
zotero / reference management / ranty--questioney
Consider: 1 2 and X Y Z are fairly overlapping, all to do with language and identity stuff.
I think part of it is Zotero's terrible UI and lack of swift keybindings, but it's difficult to work..
How do _you_ do this? Zotero or not, and especially if you pursue multiple topics/programs?
zotero / reference management / ranty--questioney
As it is now I have collections like following:
Topic 1
Topic 2
Fiction [related to research]
Misc
Program: X
Program: Z
Program: Y
MA Thesis
I also have an humongous archived DB (which I need to copy stuff from sometime...) where I'd make collections per project, eg assignment, term paper etc.
The latter is okay I think but classifying by topic and program, that's maybe too much?
I mean it's all intersecting too..
zotero / reference management / ranty--questioney
Recently came up with a few "research programs", i.e. general topics for my future research.
Felt like a good idea to organise bib db around these, so created a folder in Zotero for each "program".
Slowly discovering a downside to this: often I'll encounter papers that don't neatly fit into one or more of these.
So I'm wondering, is this maybe too rigid? Would it be better to dump it all in one folder?
I have notebooks per program elsewhere.
