Das dt. Wissenschaftssystem setzt auf künstliche Verknappung von Wertschätzung: Leute kleinhalten. Ihnen suggerieren, nichts zu können. Nahelegen, sie müssten dankbar sein, sogar für miese Bedingungen. So lassen wir uns alles Mögliche gefallen. Deshalb: Lobt einander, was das Zeug hält! #IchBinHanna

As I taught a seminar on the trans Middle Ages last semester, I would like to thank all researchers with way more expertise on this topic than myself: Without your work the course would not and could not have taken place the way it did. MERCI MILLE FOIS ! We learned a lot !
