Şeyda Kurt (*1992) is a politically engaged author, presenter and cultural journalist. After studying at the University of Cologne and the Université Bordeaux Montaigne, she worked as a freelance journalist for the taz and Ze.tt, among others. She worked as an editor for the Spotify podcast 190220 - One year after Hanau about the racist terrorist attack in Hanau, which won the Grimme Online Award in the Information category in 2021. Her autobiographical non-fiction book Radikale Zärtlichkeit - Warum Liebe politisch ist was published in 2021, in which she outlines a concept of "radical tenderness" as a program of justice. In it, she analyzes bourgeois love norms from a queerfeminist, decolonial, anti-racist and anti-capitalist perspective and addresses, among other things, her own failed relationships. In March 2023, Kurt's second non-fiction book Hass - Von der Macht eines widerständigen Gefühls was published, in which she is primarily interested in people as subjects of hate in a capitalist, racist and patriarchal world.
