Das Jahr 2023 geht zu Ende, hier ein kleiner persönlicher Rüclblick #Rb23! Wissenschaftlich war es ein gutes Jahr. Im September erschien der von mir herausgegebene Sammelband "#Erinnerungskämpfe. Neues deutsches Geschichtsbewusstsein" im @reclamverlag.bsky.social. /2 t1p.de/a5jh0

Cas Mudde in the Guardian on the most important lesson from Wilder´s victory in the NL (that everyone should have known before): "If you make the elections about the issues of the far right, notably the “problem” of immigration, the far right wins." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Disgusted by the Home Office's treatment of my brilliant colleague @DoselineKiguru, whose six-year old daughter has been denied a UK visa. This decision needs to be reversed immediately. Please repost and share. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023...
