Gestern protestierten unsere Studierenden bei einer Sitzung des akad. Senats gegen die Kürzungspläne der FU Berlin, die unser Institut für Sozial- und Kulturanthropologie unverhältnismäßig hart treffen würden. Vielen Dank an alle, die sich solidarisiert haben. It means a lot! 💜✊

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!

Das BMBF hat geprüft, ob es Hochschulangestellten der FU Berlin, die politische Erklärungen unterschrieben haben, deshalb Fördermittel entziehen kann. Der Mailwechsel dazu ist dokumentiert. Falls noch jemand Illusionen darüber hatte, was das Ministerium unter Wissenschaftsfreiheit versteht.

Als Reaktion auf Kritik: Bildungsministerium wollte Fördermittel streichen

Germany 2024: you’re giving a presentation about sex work, migration and the racialisation of „Eastern Europeans“ in a small venue, yet have to speak through a mic, because outside some right wing extremists are drumming very loudly. Läuft. 🫠

A very inspiring book & must read for anyone interested in east-west inequalities in Europe, gender and mobility - based on ethnographic research @probursula.bsky.social shows how racialised and classed hierarchies operate within Berlin's sex work sector: www.transcript-verlag.de/978-3-8376-6...

And thanks again for having me, was great to engage with audiences and the cast around issues of sex work, capitalism and migration, as well as the the complicated processes of representing sex workers‘ complex lives.

„Happy Nights“ (by Lola Arias, full ensemble see link) is a collaboration between sex workers and dancers which addresses everyday (work) lives and imaginations around sex work in Bremen in beyond, through an immersive experience. 10/10 recommended!

Danke, Theater Bremen! Last week I was invited to the production of „Happy Nights“ (highly recommended!), to talk about my research with Bibiana Mendes from the production team and could also join a conversation between cast and audience afterwards.
