Last day of my fellowship @ushmm.bsky.social and I'm sad to return my badge. It's been an absolute honour!
I had such a wonderful time at the archives and meeting all the brilliant scholars and fellows at the museum ✨️✨️

I am very much looking forward to starting my ERC project RESTATE about how refugees perceive and engage with the state throughout their displacement journeys, and how these perceptions shape their roles as political actors in September 2025. I am going to hire 2 postdocs and 1 PhD later this year!
We're delighted for Lea Müller-Funk, who has been awarded the ERC Starting Grant. In her project, she investigates how refugees perceive the state and state violence before, during and after their flight and how these experiences influence their political participation. erc.europa.eu/news-events/...

Danke, liebe Sarah, dass du für mich auf Hawai'i Spuren von Russ:innen aus China verfolgt hast! Was für ein spannender Bericht 🥰🤓

Schaut mal in diesen SEHR empfehlenswerten Blog zu Sarahs Forschungsreisen rein!
Für eine ungewiss lange Zeit ist das mein letzter Blogbeitrag. Dafür habe ich hier noch einmal ein kleines Schmankerl an DP-Geschichte - zu russischsprachigen Antikommunisten und Hawaii! Danke an @lenachristoph.bsky.social vakantio.de/mitgeschicht...
