Tschüss, Academia! Erpressbar war ich gestern Was es gebraucht hat, um den Entschluss zu fällen, dass ich der Wissenschaft den Rücken kehre -- und was ich schon jetzt dadurch gewonnen habe.

Nach 14 Jahren fällt man den Entschluss, Academia zu verlassen, nicht mal eben so -- trotz all unserer Kritik ➡️ #IchBinHanna Warum ich dazu nicht bloß die Erkenntnis brauchte, was ich verliere, wenn ich bleibe, sondern auch eine Idee davon, was ich gewinne, wenn ich gehe: Heute in #ArbeitInDerWiss!

It was demanding to write, but also rewarding. I have included sections on divergent emotions and on emotional injustice and ableism.

This has just been published in “Theory & Society” (formerly) considered THE top #sociology /theory journal, after Springer Nature redid the board, installing Steven Pinker among them. Shame shame shame

Schwarzer, founder of German feminist magazine Emma and, together with Sahra Wagenknecht, co-organiser of protest for ‘peace’ with Russia says that having AfD leader Alice Weidel as chancellor would be encouraging to women.

I think we should *speak to* the topics as they come and go and *offer courses* on them. We often have interesting things to say. We should not *restructure the discipline* or *designate positions* to such topics. (I talked about this 2023 with decision makers in my institution. but alas ...)

Grund achtundreißig dafür, genauer auf Ostmitteleuropa zu schauen: das Klischee der kleinen, ignorierten Nationen wird zunehmend zum politischen Instrument.
Fico spricht ständig von den "großen Jungs" in Europa, gegen die nur er sein Land verteidigen könne. Bratislava werde in Brüssel ignoriert. 1

Liberation, not collapse The fall of the Berlin Wall, and not the human chain across the Baltics, is emblematic of 1989. But what if this show of unity had become iconic of communism’s disintegration? Could acknowledging East...

On the 34th anniversary of the end of the USSR, I’m reposting my article from earlier this year, which argued that we should have understood the moment as liberation rather than only as collapse: www.eurozine.com/liberation-n...

Just saw people arguing that the shooting in Sydney wasn’t antisemitic because Chabad is a Zionist movement, and killing Zionists is fine.

Fucking ghouls. Get fucked.

I agree. At the same time: there is certainly academic philosophy out there that I don’t have the time to read but I could very well imagine to listen to while doing some other chore… so I’d actually like to see more of this.

Not a remotely original point, but I truly cannot understand the mindset of people who feel not just comfortable with hording huge amounts of wealth and resources, given how others live, but driven to preserving and even deepening those inequalities. I wouldn't know how to live with the shame.

I have been critical of a lot of trans 101 style public education strategies but one little bit of progress I hoped we had made with cis people is that categorizing us “non-biological” doesn’t make sense

Es macht mich richtig betroffen, als Anglistin Hausarbeiten zu lesen, die ganz offensichtlich mit LLM verfasst wurden. Klar liest sich das oft flüssiger bzgl. der Grammatik etc., aber die Lesarten sind oberflächlich, hohl & die Stimmen der Studis überhaupt nicht mehr hörbar. 1/6

AI Is Hollowing Out Higher Education Olivia Guest & Iris van Rooij urge teachers and scholars to reject tools that commodify learning, deskill students, and promote illiteracy.

“The deskilling, denigration, and displacement of teachers and scholars have historically been central to fascist takeovers, since educators serve as bulwarks against propaganda, anti-intellectualism, and illiteracy.” — @olivia.science
