    From exit to voice : reflections on exile through the accounts of Turkey’s intelligentsia
    (Taylor & Francis, 2022-10-10) Baser, Bahar; Ozturk, Ahmet Erdi
    The authoritarian turn in Turkey compelled many citizens to change life trajectories which included extreme measures such as migration and exile. Thousands of people left Turkey in the last decade, this recent wave constituting one of the largest Turkish migrations to Europe and beyond. The profile of the migrants included those who were comfortable with and/or opposed the current regime’s political and social policies, members of oppressed minority groups, Gülen movement members who are accused of orchestrating the failed 2016 coup attempt as well as white collar and secular Turkish citizens who made lifestyle migration choices because of the political and economic developments in the country. The article focuses on the narratives of a specific group within this new wave, those whom we refer to as Turkey’s intelligentsia in exile, and who decided to leave Turkey following the Gezi protests in 2013. The findings are based on 25 interviews conducted in 2021 with former academics, activists, artists, journalists and politicians who migrated to a variety of locations as a result of pending trials or arrest warrants against them, dehumanization discourse that pro-regime politicians directed toward them, as well as lack of freedom of speech and assembly.

    Assessment and social justice: Invigorating lines of articulation and lines of flight
    (South African Education Research Association, 2022-07-15) Le Grange, Lesley; Moonsamy Maistry, Suriamurthee; Blignaut, Sylvan; Ramrathan, Labby; Simmonds, Shan
    This article is a collective project. It is a rhizome-article that is an assemblage of five heterogeneous essays that trouble dominant practices of assessment, generally, but also within the current COVID-19 pandemic. The authors problematise standardisation, measurement, quantification and other technologies of performativity that dominate contemporary assessment practices in schools and universities. In the essays, the authors invigorate lines of flight from dominant assessment practices and do so in the interest of assessment that is more humane and socially just. They point out that, as with anything else, a rhizome-article also has lines of articulation/connection and invite readers to invigorate these as they read the essays. The authors of this article draw on the works of several scholars but do so to think with them rather than having their work framed by them.

    Newtonian heating effect on heat absorbing unsteady MHD radiating and chemically reacting free convection flow past an oscillating vertical porous plate
    (Sciendo, 2022) Reddy, B. Prabhakar; Makinde, O. D.
    In this article, we have discussed in detail the effect of Newtonian heating on MHD unsteady free convection boundary layer flow past an oscillating vertical porous plate embedded in a porous medium with thermal radiation, chemical reaction and heat absorption. The governing PDEs of the model together with related initial and boundary conditions have been solved numerically by the finite element method. The dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are analyzed graphically due to the effects of key parameters in the concerned model problem. Computed results for the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are put in tabular form. It is observed that the thermal and mass buoyancy effects support the velocity whilst a reverse effect is noticed when the strength of the magnetic field is increased. The velocity and temperature enhances with an increase in the Newtonian heating and thermal radiation whilst a reverse effect is observed with an increase in the Prandtl number and heat absorption parameter. Increasing Schmidt number and chemical reaction parameter tends to depreciate both velocity and concentration. The Newtonian heating, thermal radiation and magnetic field tends to decrease in the skin friction. The Nusselt number increases with increasing Newtonian heating and heat absorption parameters. An increase in the Schmidt number and chemical reaction rate tends to improve the Sherwood number.
