Amazing turnout at the opening of our workshop on "Queer Pharma", which is about to begin with a keynote speech by @kanerace.bsky.social on "Queer Psychoactivity: Switching Frameworks", at the Schwules Museum in Berlin tonight! @mxschnepf.bsky.social @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social
Last week, we learnt that our university management is planning to cut our 3rd professorship in Social & Cult. Anthropology. This would have fatal consequences for our Institute at the FU Berlin and our discipline in the German speaking countries. We will struggle against this and hope for support!

Our institute is at risk due to the severe funding cuts affecting Berlin’s universities. It’s no coincidence that, in a time of the alarming rise of the far right, it’s the already underfunded critical social sciences that are being hit hardest. Now is the time to stand up ✊

Our institute, the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology at @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social is at risk due to budget cuts. In current times where we need more and not less critical social scientific perspectives, this is horrible, but also not entirely surprising news. Please spread the word!

Als erfahrener Drückeberger erkläre ich in meiner neuen Kolumne auf @ndaktuell.bsky.social , warum ich für ein Land wie Deutschland – das Kriegsverbrechen unterstützt, die Umwelt zerstört und Austerität propagiert – nicht einmal Überstunden machen würde.
Der Staat, das bin ich nicht!
Kanzler Merz möchte, dass alle mehr Verantwortung für den Staat übernehmen. Unser Kolumnist Yossi Bartal erklärt, warum er dieser Aufforderung nicht nachkommen möchte.
