Gestern protestierten unsere Studierenden bei einer Sitzung des akad. Senats gegen die Kürzungspläne der FU Berlin, die unser Institut für Sozial- und Kulturanthropologie unverhältnismäßig hart treffen würden. Vielen Dank an alle, die sich solidarisiert haben. It means a lot! 💜✊ (Photo: U. Probst)

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!

So happy to finally see the result of this great collaboration with @aleksandralewicki.bsky.social out in the world! For link and summary, see Aleks‘ thread below!

Thank you for the invitation, @aleksandralewicki.bsky.social! Was a pleasure to present together, and also thanks to the respondents for their thoughtful comments on our paper!

Das BMBF hat geprüft, ob es Hochschulangestellten der FU Berlin, die politische Erklärungen unterschrieben haben, deshalb Fördermittel entziehen kann. Der Mailwechsel dazu ist dokumentiert. Falls noch jemand Illusionen darüber hatte, was das Ministerium unter Wissenschaftsfreiheit versteht.

Germany 2024: you’re giving a presentation about sex work, migration and the racialisation of „Eastern Europeans“ in a small venue, yet have to speak through a mic, because outside some right wing extremists are drumming very loudly. Läuft. 🫠

When scholars whose work you highly appreciate read and recommend your work 🥰

„Wer sich also eine Meinung in diesem Themenfeld bilden und sich im öffentlichen Diskurs positionieren möchte, sollte diese Studie auf jeden Fall gelesen haben“, schreibt M. Gutekunst in einer Rezension meines Buchs. Freue mich über die positive Resonanz und Anregungen zum Weiterdenken 🤩

Freue mich auf die Buchpremiere "Handbuch Queere Zeitgeschichten: Räume". Im Dialog mit dem Beitrag von Andrea Rottmann spreche ich über PrEP und schwule Häuslichkeit 💊 🏡 www.queere-zeitgeschichten.net/index.html

Berlin! Am 3.11. um 20.00 lesen Fabienne Mahwane und ich aus unseren Beiträgen - zu Rassismus im Hilfesystem gegen Gewalt an Frauen (F.Mahwane) und Gewalt in der Sexarbeit (ich) - im Sammelband “Intersektionalität und Gewalt” bei She Said Books, moderiert von Methu Thavarasa. ❤️

Danke, Theater Bremen! Last week I was invited to the production of „Happy Nights“ (highly recommended!), to talk about my research with Bibiana Mendes from the production team and could also join a conversation between cast and audience afterwards.

When in the North… im Theater Bremen läuft gerade „Happy Nights“ zu Sexarbeit (und mit Sexarbeiter*innen). Am 21.10. darf ich davor an einem Gespräch zu Sex/Arbeit, Migration und Kapitalismus teilnehmen und nach der 20.30 Vorstellung bin ich auch beim Publikumsgespräch dabei!

Got invited to discuss my research on sex work and migration from „Eastern Europe“ today with social workers from the „Mobile Teams“ program which provides support in rural areas of Baden-Württemberg, online, as I’m at the other end of 🇩🇪 for fieldwork, interesting nevertheless!
