Heute ab 18 Uhr am ZZF in Potsdam: Podiumsdiskussion zu Rechten Hochburgen (in German with English simultaneous translation).

Sayad's work is so good and I wish it found a broader audience both inside and outside the Francophone world. Thinking the Irish emigration experience through Sayad would be fascinating.

Currently re-reading Abdelmalek #Sayad for an article. Keep on being amazed by how many of his observations of French society in the late 1980s seem still so fresh & timely.

Publication News: On the Charm of History. www.historians.org/perspectives... What studying the past has to offer, it seems these days, is a stern warning about the perils of authoritariansim or even fascism that are on the rise again. Rarely does history seem to offer a sense of hope ... 1/3

Frisch erschienen: der "Inventar"-Beitrag zu "Mauern", in dem Frank Wolff #Mauern nicht allein als "eine besonders harte Form der #Grenzsicherung" beschreibt, sondern auch darauf eingeht, welche Rolle der Bezug auf Mauern für aktuelle Formen des #Demokratieabbau spielt. SEHR lesenswert!

War - wie immer - eine super Sitzung, dank der tollen Kolleg:innen und natürlich dank Lektor at home!

Skandalös: Im Thür. Landtag beklagte #AfD-MdL Benninghaus heute, dass auf Gehwegen „goldene Steine“ (Stolpersteine) gesetzt werden und setzt sie „unseren Gedenkstätten“ (gemeint sind Kriegerdenkmäler) entgegen. Unverfrorener kann man #Geschichtsrevisionismus u. Verachtung für #NS-Opfer kaum zeigen.

Finally got around to ordering Sadiah Qureshi's book - "Vanished, an unnatural history of extinction" - and very much looking forward to reading it!

„A sad fiasco“, my book on colonial concentration camps, has been released in paperback today. If you want to know what characterized these deadly institutions; whether colonial powers copied this technique from each other; and whether they are connected to later Nazi camps, consider taking a look.

Hier ein Gespräch mit Eva von Redecker: über Hannah Arendts Buch „Elemente und Ursprünge totaler Herrschaft“; über die Frage, warum es an manchen Punkten so unheimlich in Resonanz geht mit unserer Gegenwart 🎧 share.deutschlandradio.de/dlf-audiothe...

Das Projekt Europa begann nicht erst mit der EU – es wurde seit dem 19. Jh. gelebt, erdacht und bestritten. Das neue Themenheft von Geschichte und Gesellschaft erkundet, wie es sich in Alltag und Praxis, Politik, Wirtschaft und Kultur formte. 🔗 www.vandenhoeck-ruprecht-verlage.com/themen-entde...

On International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, our #EUIResearch interview with Giada Pizzoni (@eui-history.bsky.social) explores how early modern women confronted sexual violence and why their actions matter today. 🔗https://loom.ly/WwAx7qY

Needless to say, its #DoctorWhoDay today. And yes, this is a celebratory post.

Wir gedenken heute Bahide Arslan, Yeliz Arslan und Ayşe Yılmaz. Sie wurden vor 33 Jahren, in der Nacht vom 22. auf den 23. November 1992, bei den rassistischen Brandanschlägen von #Mölln ermordet. Weitere Mitglieder der Familie wurden zum Teil schwer verletzt. #KeinVergessen

That was such a great lecture yesterday! Thanks to Sarah @bellowsblakely.bsky.social who was willing to make the long journey to Flensburg and gave us insights into her research on the history of sexual harassment in higher education

Gestern hat die AfD im Bundestag den Antrag eingebracht: „Staatliche Finanzierung der Amadeu Antonio Stiftung aus Bundesmitteln beenden.“ Ein Angriff, der weit über uns hinausgeht – er richtet sich gegen die gesamte Zivilgesellschaft. Deshalb haben wir mit @campact.de eine Petition gestartet! 1/x

What happens when nationalist history meets the horrors of empire? For @jacobinmag.bsky.social, I reviewed a new exhibition on British counterinsurgency at the Imperial War Museum jacobin.com/2025/11/brit...

Join our Teach-In/Out "Counter the Production of Migration as Crisis" in Osnabrück next week! This is a response to a call by the new Migration Scholars' Global Solidarity and Resistance Network to take action against the increasing violence and hostility targeting racialised communities.

The field wouldn‘t be what it is today if marginalised people hadn’t fought for their history, and in fighting developed new methods, knowledge, perspectives. There is a reason one of our best journals is called @historyworkshop.org.uk (in German @werkstattgeschichte.openbiblio.social.ap.brid.gy)

Something I currently get really excited about in my research: #legalactivism and how historical actors started using trials and the law in their struggles to contest #gender and #racial #discrimination. Like the "Heinze"-women here in their struggles for equal pay.

Very much looking forward to presenting my (still rather preliminary) thoughts and findings on #equality conflicts and the rise of #non-discrimination at the colloquium of the #EUI History Department, @eui-history.bsky.social, today! www.eui.eu/events?id=58...

Very very Florence, I guess

These current plans by Brit.conservatives to make long-term residents deportable are particularly worrying because they are part of such a broad trend of attacking and disenfranchising migrants/migrantized groups.

The conference report by Frederik Doktor about our #Workshop Intimacies on the Move that explored the intersecting #histories of #mobilities, #migration, #gender and #sexuality has just been published. I so much enjoyed meeting everybody and discussing their fascinating research!

Und am 30.10. spreche ich in #Trier über die Herausforderungen der Gedenkstättenarbeit angesichts des weltweiten Rechtsrucks. Infos hier: friedensdienst.de/lokale-fried...

Wie #Freizügigkeit zum zentralen Element #liberaler Wirtschaftsordnungen wurde, sich aber unterschiedlich konzeptualisieren lässt, etwa #menschenrechtlich als „Freizügigkeit von Personen als Personen“: darum geht es in einem neuen Beitrag für das #Inventar der #Migrationsbegriffe. Leseempfehlung!
