Wir haben einen BK, der nicht weiß, was Wissenschaft und Forschung sind.

„Forschung ist kein Selbstzweck. Forschung muss zu Wertschöpfung, Produktion und Innovation in Deutschland und in Europa führen“, so der @bundeskanzler. Die Wissenschaftsfreiheit, wie sie Art. 5 Abs. 3 GG und das Bundesverfassungsgericht verstehen, setzt einen anderen Maßstab. 🧵 1/n

I've gone over to the dark side: In what is a first for me, I submitted an article to a journal that displays references in the text as 😱 endnotes 😱, clearly the least user-friendly and most annoying way of referencing that has ever been invented. 😬

"A Pan-African couple:" @elarabertho.bsky.social's great book on Miriam Makeba (South African singer-activist) and Stokely Carmichael (Trinidadian-US theorist-activist of Black Power) in Guinea both challenges and inspires scholarship on the 'Global Sixties.' www.tandfonline.com/eprint/QCSCM...

Here's how to fix this AI-attack, presumably at least (see screenshot) - although it does not solve the more general problem of handing over your work to a rather dubious for-profit organization whose account I have not had the heart to delete (yet).

Michael Lobel@mlobelart.bsky.social · last yr.

For academics & scholars who've uploaded papers to Academia, this message I received this morning should be of major concern. I'll delete my account, but I assume damage is done & they've already scraped everything of mine. Should stand as a warning about sharing one's work on commercial websites

Seriously, fuck off. I say that with all due gravity.

"Global Histories of the Portuguese Revolution," @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social, eds. Luís Trindade, Rita Lucas Narra, Ricardo Noronha, @pramospinto.bsky.social. An awesome book! Have a chapter in there that writes the "retornados" aka decolonization, Cold War, and refugeeness back into the picture.

I will be there! Maybe you will, too?

🚨Attention Global Sixties scholars:🚨A typical French handwriting in the mail is always a good omen. Here, it announced the arrival of @elarabertho.bsky.social’s exciting new book “A Pan-African Couple: Miriam Makeba and Stokely Carmichael in Guinea”. Looking forward to reading!

"Building Nations, Making Worlds, Creating Subjects: European Languages in Postcolonial Africa" is the megalomaniac title for the presentation of my research project at @sdu.dk (host: @christiandp.bsky.social) that is still very much work in progress and a fragile flower. Join us if you are around!

I am stoked to announce the publication of the Portuguese translation of my 2022 book “Postcolonial People” - finally in the language of the people this book is about, and finally at a very affordable price!

🚨Berlin // Kristiansand, Southern Norway // Home Swap!🚨 We (two adults, one kid) want to spend two weeks in Berlin in July 2025 (exact dates flexible). We offer our beautiful home in Kristiansand on the "Norwegian Riviera" in return. Please be in touch if interested & share widely!

Hello! If you know a thing or two about Google's Ngram viewer, please help! I was wondering how I can ngram not a single search term (ex.: "modernization"), or a combination of two (ex.: "modernization theory"), but instead a combination of three or more (ex: "us modernization theory")?

🚨Global history & language. Amazing workshop coming up!! 🚨 (Unfortunately, I won’t apply myself 😔 - blame Norway’s ‘fellesferie’ in July! 😖)
