The Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology at @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social needs our solidarity. Planned budget cuts by the city and university leadership threaten the vital, critical work coming out of this space. Let’s not let it go quiet. #SaveBerlinAnthropology

Last week, we learnt that our university management is planning to cut our 3rd professorship in Social & Cult. Anthropology. This would have fatal consequences for our Institute at the FU Berlin and our discipline in the German speaking countries. We will struggle against this and hope for support!

Ich teile den öffentl. LinkedIn-post meiner amerikanischen Kollegin, die für #USAID arbeitet.
Wir müssen verstehen in Deutschland, wie schnell es auch bei uns gehen kann. Unsere Medien müssen adäquat wiedergeben, was Expertinnen wie @sarahkendzior.bsky.social seit Jahren über die USA berichten.

Exzellenz, aber mehr so gefühlt: Die Exzellenzstrategie wird gehyped ohne Ende — was fehlt, ist 1 empirische Basis, wie @nnwiss.bsky.social eindrücklich zeigt. Trotzdem wird irre viel Zeit & Geld in diesen Hyperwettbewerb gesteckt, die fehlen für Forschung & Lehre in der Breite. #ExitExzellenz wann?
