Congratulations to Laura Tack for her successful dissertation defence! 🎉💐📚

The disputation of Laura Tack titled „ein groß und unerhörtes Meer wunder“- narratives and perceptions of historic storm surges in the southwest of the Baltic Sea region between the 14th-17th century is about to start- we wish her the best of luck!

Had a great time yesterday at the Christmas party of the Research Training Group @baltic-peripeties.bsky.social. Such a sharp and genuinely fun crowd to celebrate with ❄️✨ Bonus: my team managed to snag second place in the super-wintery Baltic quiz.

Today we are at the career workshop and are looking at career paths outside academia. Did you have the opportunity to attend a similar event yet? www.schainundkuchenbrandt.com/de

We are excited about this evening’s reading of „Let’s talk about feelings“ by Leif Randt in the Wolfgang Koeppen House: www.koeppenhaus.de/vorschau/

Let’s start off our new series #WordoftheWeek with an obvious one: “Peripety”

Last Friday, during our writing retreat in Estonia, we received the exciting news that our IRTG "Baltic Peripeties. Narratives of Reformations, Revolutions and Catastrophes" was approved for a second funding period of 4.5 years.

Vom 10.-11. Juli findet der Workshop "Exploring Narrative Gaps in Literature: Identity, Memory, and the Absent" in Greifswald statt. So stolz, die Veranstaltung zusammen mit meinen Kolleginnen von @baltic-peripeties.bsky.social zu organisieren. Wer dabei sein möchte, bitte anmelden, wir freuen uns!
