Rookie Inspector 3
by Esra Avgören
Fatma was thinking that she had a fun weekend. Firstly she finished her homework. She needed a calculator to check her math homework. She asked permission from her mother to take her brother’s calculator. Her mother permitted but although she rummaged the room, she couldn’t find it. A genius idea popped into her head. She was going to take her brother’s tablet and use its calculator, read a book, watch a video. Then she was going to sleep. She went to school after waking up with a tablet in her hand, dizzy. Of course, she didn’t forget to put the tablet into her bag. After a boring class of the new Turkish teacher, she ran out to the garden as soon as she heard the break bell. But when she came back, she found her bag open and saw it was empty. The tablet was gone. This was such an awful situation. How was it stolen when no one saw the tablet? Her best friend, Ali was, immediately came to help. They’ve got two clues; the thief was left-handed and a short yarn part. They checked everyone in the school canteen to find out whom the yarn part belongs to. And of course, they found out the thief shortly after. Fatma got off cheap this time.

The Red Motorcycle
by Fatma Akerson
The Red Motorcycle is made up of three narratives “The Red Motorcycle,” “The Tiny Footprints of a Girl on Sand” and “Belakane.”The first story, “The Red Motorcycle” consists of ten letters written by the narrator in retrospective. They are addressed to an Italian friend who, although a foreigner, is familiar with the Mediterranean.The second story, “The Tiny Footsteps of a Girl on Sand” tells of an aged man, who has fallen desperately in love with a very young woman. Following the footprints of Gilgamesh, the Sumerian king (ca 2000 BC) he attempts to reach Utnapishtim, in order to learn the secret of immortality. Anxiously the young woman, now a writer, sets forth to find him.The third story, “Belakane”” begins with a summary of an episode from Eschenbach’s (13th c.) Parcifal. Eschenbach gives an account of how Parcifal’s father, Gachmuret, who was a rich knight in the service of the Chalif, falls in love with the pagan queen Belakane, but then leaves her just before the birth of their child (Feirefiz). Almost seven hundred years later, we find another Belakane in the vicinity of Beirut.All three stories have a rather “cool” style. The writing never turns pathetic, idioms of alienation are employed and a certain irony is always present. No scene ends without a note of hope.

EducationIslam and Higher Education in Transitional Societies
by Seggie, F. N.
Islam and Higher Education in Transitional Societies explores and illuminates the intersection of Islam and higher education in changing societies. The critical question explored in this book is, what role does Islam play in higher education in transitional societies? This book presents research conducted in geographic regions that are generally under-researched including Iran, Turkey, Pakistan and where the place of Islam in higher education is often not well-explored. Because higher education is embedded in the cultural, social, economic and political contexts of particular countries, it is important to examine the role of Islam in higher education systems in different countries to better grasp how next generation of leaders in these countries will be shaped. Islam and Higher Education in Transitional Societies serves as an important benchmark for understanding Islam and potentially inform policies to transform higher education institutional processes and structures to be responsive to the Muslim world Fatma Nevra Seggie is a faculty member in the Department of Educational Sciences at Bogazici University in Istanbul, Turkey. She received her Ph.D. in the Higher, Adult, and Lifelong Education Program at Michigan State University, USA. She received her Master of Arts in the Department of English Language Studies and Methods at the University of Warwick, UK and her Bachelor of Arts in the Department of English Language Teaching at the University of Istanbul, Turkey. Her research interests include access in education; gender and identity issues in the Turkish post-secondary education; policy development and analysis in education; and culture and the role of secularism, religion, and democracy in education in Turkey.
