A plan, put forward by Wittenberg University's president and board in late July, proposed eliminating 60 percent of full-time faculty and a quarter of the noninstructional staff, and relying more heavily on online course-sharing to teach students. https://t.co/Hhi7KiHqz8

Joining me in the chamber today is Hani Almadhoun, who has lost over 150 members of his extended family in Netanyahu’s genocide. After witnessing his sister forced to eat animal feed, he and his family were determined to start a soup kitchen to feed their starving neighbors.

@MiddleEastEye Here’s @EmoryUniversity economics professor Caroline Fohlin knocked to the ground with her head on the concrete. Her glasses are thrown off. She shouts “I’m a professor” #Gaza #Protesters

It's out! My take on why European history is disappearing in the US, thanks to forces from the right + the left: "Irrelevant Scapegoat: The Perils of Doing European History in Post-Trump America." Thank you @emile_chabal for being a tireless task master. https://t.co/Xiod0RxSwZ

NEW! Linda Leskau, Tanja Nusser, and @KateSorrels's new volume explores the development of disability studies in German-speaking Europe and brings together interdisciplinary perspectives on disability in German, Austrian, and Swiss history and culture. https://t.co/RhGPiOYuAw

Why are so many white academics all of a sudden asking if a plural conceptualization of Heimat can be imagined? Black Germans have been reconceptualizing Heimat as plural and renegotiating its territorial boundaries and exclusions in creative and scholarly ways for decades.

With all the crazy happening in the world, I almost forgot to mention… this book is actually happening!! Page Proofs!! 😃

Just found a box of these on my door step. I’m so excited to see my first book-length translation in print! Tausend Dank an Olivia Wenzel, Susan Bernofsky and Wah-Ming at Catapult.
