General pattern in regime change: the comedy gets better and then it gets banned.

Just a thought but academics on limited contracts doing major teaching and research load at universities want stability and transparent rules on job prospects not a “postdoc appreciation week” #ichbinhanna

Ein Paar Wörter in @diepressecom.bsky.social über meine Forschung und mein neues @fwf-at.bsky.social ASTRA Projekt. Was können wir von der Vergangenheit über die Innovation und Sicherheit lernen? Und warum hilft das, über den „Globalen Osten“ zu sprechen? www.diepresse.com/20020255/dip...

As editors-in-chief, @dagmarvorlicek.bsky.social and I are extremely proud that @jird-jour.bsky.social is now for the first time ever ranked in Q1 of International Relations journals 💥 Clearly, we owe this to our predecessors, as we only took over in January 2025 - but good news is good news ❤️

Happy to announce that I won the Astra Award @fwf-at.bsky.social! This will allow me to build my own team over the next 5 years & explore overlooked histories of security innovation in the Global East. Massive thanks to @evrop-anka.bsky.social @ifswien.bsky.social @univie.ac.at for help & support.

Massive Congratulations to our @ifswien.bsky.social researcher Dagmar Vorlicek for receiving this Prestigeous grant! It will allow her to build her own group to study the complex path of innovation and the role of the past in our present policy suggestions. Well done 👏🏾 @dagmarvorlicek.bsky.social

Very happy for my fabulous colleague @evrop-anka.bsky.social at @univie.ac.at @ifswien.bsky.social who was just awarded #ERCAdG for her project on regulating loneliness in modern societies

Ja som chcela utiecť do Kanady aj v prípade, že by vyhrala Kamala Harris, však Tim nie je taký úzkostlivý človek. Keby Tim bol sám, vrátil by sa do New Havenu a bojoval by tam za demokraciu. @timothysnyder.bsky.social

Ich bin Historikerin des 20. Jahrhunderts, Osteuropas, des Totalitarismus. Geschichte sagt einem nicht, was passieren wird, aber sie zeigt, was passieren kann. Ich weiß, was eine "Feindesliste" ist. Und wenn man einmal verstanden hat, was geschehen kann, kann man es nicht mehr nicht wissen.

Yesterday, a mass rally took place in Serbia following a months-long students-led protests against the government. Trumpism draws on Orban’s takeover of Hungary, but developments in the CEE demonstrate also the possibilities of democratic resistance. www.bbc.com/news/article...

About 1/6 of the total population of Serbia protested government malfeasance today. In the US that would be more than fifty million people.
