I had my first PhD student graduate last week…
Last week we had many thesis defenses in our PhD program in Communication Sciences and MA program in Media and Communication Systems. Some of my students whom I was the adviser, successfully defended their theses. Sedef Erdoğan Giovanelli is special for me because she was my very first PhD student and she successfully defended her thesis last week. Her dissertation title: “Culinary Heritage in Turkey Cultural Policy, Official Practice and Online Representation of Food Culture”
Moreover, Salma Abdel Halım (on my right), an MA student in Media and Communication Systems, defended her thesis on social media usage changes before and after the Arab Spring in Egypt.
Cenk Çakar, an MA student in Cultural Studies, successfully defended his thesis on public service ads.
Gülşah Görücü (on my right), another MA student in Cultural Studies, successfully defended her thesis on digital impact on independent music production in Turkey.
Yet another MA student in Media Studies, Cihat Ağırman, defended his thesis on TRT’s Arabic Channel as a propaganda medium. We were all tired to take a selfie!

Internet greybeards and upstarts gather to redecentralize the Internet
This week, the Internet Archive is hosting a three-day event (which finishes today) called The Decentralized Web Summit, whose goal is to figure out how to build a new Internet that is “locked open,” an idea that emerged from Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle’s 2015 series of talks and articles about how technologists can build networks and protocols that are resistant to attempt to capture, monopolize and control them.

Eurosphere agenda: “IMF breaks off talks with Athens…”EU Parliament puts off TTIP debate…
The IMF representatives pulled out of talks with Athens in Brussels on Thursday. A spokesman for the organisation complained that the differences of opinion were too great. It is unclear when the negotiations will be resumed. In the end the creditors won’t abandon Greece to its fate, commentators write, still convinced that an agreement is possible.
The EU Parliament postponed the planned TTIP debate on Wednesday. It was clear in advance that an agreement would not be reached due to the large number of proposed amendments. After a tumult in the plenary session Parliament President Martin Schulz decided to put off the debate. Schulz has violated the principles of democracy, commentators criticise, and see the discussion about the free trade agreement increasingly falling victim to populist manoeuvring.
What might a Grexit mean for EU Reform and Brexit?
If the right-wing opposition parties win the Danish general elections next week, Denmark’s EU affairs policies will become more Eurosceptic, and will support British Prime Minister David Cameron’s call for EU reforms, the parties confirmed on Thursday (11 June).

Victor Ponta’s leftist government easily survived a no-confidence motion in Romania’s parliament as expected on Friday (12 June), securing the prime minister’s political immunity in a corruption investigation.
In the conflict over Athens’ debts Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President François Hollande will meet for discussions today in Brussels. Some commentators accuse Tsipras of continuing to defend the privileges of Greek public servants. Others say the EU should give up the project of reforming Greece.
For the International Monetary Fund, five years of playing junior partner in European bailouts for Greece has been a “never again” experience, and the worst may be yet to come.
The European Parliament failed on Tuesday (9 June) to agree a unified stance on a proposed trade deal with the United States, postponing a vote that was meant to cement its support for the biggest accord of its kind.
Six months before the climate conference in Paris, the participants at the G7 summit in Bavaria have agreed on sweeping climate targets and tougher sanctions against Moscow. The media praises the climate protection goals but finds the summit format outdated.

The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic has managed to pursue a dynamic European and global foreign policy. Not bad for a country that doesn’t officially exist.

A spokesperson of the European foreign policy Chief Federica Mogherini stated that ‘the European Union does not recognise the constitutional and legal framework of the elections’. The United States State Department indicated that ‘it will not accept the results of the elections’. Romania’s foreign ministry labelled the elections ‘illegal’. For Spain they were illegitimate. Ukraine stated that the results of the elections cannot have ‘any legal consequences’.
European Union officials on Tuesday (9 June) swiftly dismissed new Greek promises of economic reform, saying the proposals were not enough to unlock funds that Athens urgently needs to avoid defaulting on its debts.
