Last week’s Queer Pharma workshop in Berlin brought together scholars, artists, and activists to explore experimentation as a queer practice.
Grateful for all who made this gathering so intellectually and affectively rich.

Queer Pharma: Berlin Workshop on Drugs, Desire, and Altered Ways of Knowing

Experimentations with pharmaceutical substances cradle queer potential – bodies and organisms transform, relations shift, emotions swell or fade into quietude. With capacities to intervene in life’s p...

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!

At a time when there is a shift to right-wing and authoritarian forces and an increasing hostility towards the social sciences and humanities, social and cultural anthropology is more important than ever:

Our institute is at risk due to the severe funding cuts affecting Berlin’s universities.
It’s no coincidence that, in a time of the alarming rise of the far right, it’s the already underfunded critical social sciences that are being hit hardest. Now is the time to stand up ✊

Our institute, the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology at @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social is at risk due to budget cuts. In current times where we need more and not less critical social scientific perspectives, this is horrible, but also not entirely surprising news. Please spread the word!

My home institution is under threat:

The Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology at @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social needs your solidarity. Planned budget cuts by the city and university leadership threaten the vital, critical work coming out of this space #SaveBerlinAnthropology

Als erfahrener Drückeberger erkläre ich in meiner neuen Kolumne auf @ndaktuell.bsky.social , warum ich für ein Land wie Deutschland – das Kriegsverbrechen unterstützt, die Umwelt zerstört und Austerität propagiert – nicht einmal Überstunden machen würde.

Der Staat, das bin ich nicht!

Kanzler Merz möchte, dass alle mehr Verantwortung für den Staat übernehmen. Unser Kolumnist Yossi Bartal erklärt, warum er dieser Aufforderung nicht nachkommen möchte.
