May 2025 will be full of traveling, both domestic and international. After Yozgat, my next stop was Diyarbakır (Dicle University) as part of the EU delegation seminars on disinformation. In fact, this was two days ago, but for the sake of narrative (!) I added the Diyarbakır trip to the long May (I am writing this in Ankara, actually)
I loved the engagement, the students were attentive, and I met a few scholars I knew before. I had a good time, but I had to fly back early for my lecture the next day at my home university.

This dessert is called “halka tatlısı”, which can be translated as “ring dessert” or sometimes simply referred to as “rings” or “syrupy ring dessert” in certain regions. It’s typically made from a dough containing flour, semolina, and yogurt, which is deep-fried and then soaked in syrup. It has a circular shape, a crispy exterior, and a sweet syrupy flavor. It’s a common dessert in Turkish/Kurdish cuisine, especially popular with street vendors.
