The University of Cologne plans drastic cuts to its Political Science department, potentially abolishing the MSc in Political Science and eliminating the professorships in IR and Comparative Politics. This would severely weaken the social sciences at @unicologne.bsky.social.

Btw it never made it. I’m trying to channel my inner Downs and telling myself my vote doesn’t matter anyway. Not sure it’s working very well

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Der Forschungsstand ist klar: Wenn demokratische Parteien rechtspopulistische Erzählungen/Politik übernehmen/nachzuahmen versuchen, hilft das nur rechtspopulistischen Parteien. Expert*innen warnen deswegen seit JAHREN. Niemand kann sagen, man hätte es ja nicht gewusst.
