I learned how to teach about gender and sexuality as a graduate student in Florida. Everything I currently teach even beyond gender and sexuality would be illegal to teach in FL now.

Botanischer Garten: „Botanical Gardens and the Colonial Past
Botanical gardens are places of beauty
— spaces where people can experience the diversity
of plant life with all their senses, engage in scientific research, leam, and simply relax. At first glance, they may appear detached from everyday life. Yet, botanical gardens and the sciences that explore the diversity and evolution of plants, fungi, and algae are deeply rooted in society and have developed in close connection with it.
From the 15th century onwards, European powers colonised vast regions across the globe.
These conquests were driven by economic and strategic interests and ideologically justified by the belief in the "superiority" of European civilization. Like other branches of science and the humanities, botany and botanical gardens further evolved in interaction with this colonial expansion. In recent years, these connections have increasingly become the subject of academic and social debate. At the Botanic Garden Berlin, we, too, have turned our attention to this part of our history. This paper represents a first step in that reflection. We are convinced that understanding our role in history is essential for interpreting the present and shaping the future.
Global exploration and documentation of living nature developed hand in hand with European colonial expansion. Botanists participated in expeditions before, during, and after the various acts of invasion and annexation. Botanical gardens and herbaria became hubs in transnational research networks, supplied by a growing influx of plant material from around the world. They also played a role in the exploitation of plant resources and associated indigenous knowledge for commercial purposes - whether as crops or omamental plants.
Moreover, botanical gardens were instrumental in implementing the global transfer of plants, driven by the economic interests of various stakeholders.

Something incredible has happened - I was awarded an ERC Consolidator for my project titled "Racial Socialism: Racialization and Value in Socialist Red Cross Societies". I could not have done this without my brilliant colleagues & friends, and my family, who all supported me in various ways.

Eine Familie aus Tansania kämpft über 40 Jahren um die Rückführung des Schädels ihres Urgroßvaters Eine Familie aus Tansania kämpft über 40 Jahren um die Rückführung des Schädels ihres Urgroßvaters. Eigentlich wäre nun alles bereit für Wiedergutmachung.

Radiobeitrag zu Familie Kiwelu. Es ist zwei Jahre her, dass wir den Kopf ihres Ahnen Sindato Kiutesha in Berlin identifizieren konnten. Bis heute ist er nicht zurückgekehrt. Unsere Ausstellung "Mangi Meli Remains" in Old Moshi kommt auch vor.

From Mama Samia to the mad king Six cartoons that explain the presidency of Tanzania’s Samia Suluhu Hassan.

Samia Suluhu Hassan rose from Zanzibari technocrat to Tanzania’s presidency as a calming consensus-builder. But after consolidating power, her first electoral test ended in brutal repression and deadly unrest, putting the nation at its most dangerous crossroads in decades.
