“Von Arbeitgebern würde ich mir aber etwas mehr Mut wünschen, Quereinsteiger:innen eine Chance zu geben.”
Ganz genau!

Die zwei hinderlichsten Ideologien der deutschen Wirtschaft/Gesellschaft/Kultur/Wissenschaft: “Fachkräfte” & “Quereinsteiger”
So vorgestrig dieses Denken & Handeln in Schubladen.

Good morning, #HSS2025! After a busier than usual breakfast meeting of @historyscience.bsky.social's Women's Caucus, I've relocated to Borgne for a panel on technologies of visualization.

Our 1st speaker, Kristine Ericson, begins her talk by noting the relative absence of Hollywood in #histSTM.
