Writing on a white door: Selbstlernraum. Below a sign with opening hours. University Cologne, Germany.

You can listen to me speak about „Selbstdenken“ (self thinking) today - a term Hannah Arendt borrowed from Lessing. With this term, both did not mean to signify a retreat into an isolated “self“, but rather a “thinking with others“.
One can learn by oneself - but one cannot think alone! #dgska2025

Great to be at #DGSKA2025 where I'm not only because I'm #opentowork but also to present at a fascinating P020 (11:30-13:00 slot) about #everydayactivism of #transborderworkers in #Brandenburg.
Protests attract attention, but the activism of migrant workers remains invisible. Join us to hear more!

Big thanks to the four speakers for their fantastic contributions to our workshop on 'Un/commoning sustainability and its temporalities': Eriko Yamasaki, Sandra Calkins, Philipp Budka @philbu.bsky.social and André Thiemann - still ruminating over a stimulating exchange at #dgska2025

Eriko Yamasaki, Sandra Calkins, Phillip Budka & André Thiemann explore un/commoning and sustainability—from Maya maize farming 🌽 to green gentrification 🚧, Arctic infrastructure 🚂 & swine fever in Serbia 🐗. Chaired by Maike Melles & Daniel Sosna. #dgska2025
