Jane Goodall was a visionary who transformed our understanding of animals and inspired generations to care for our planet. Her legacy of compassion, courage, and hope will endure.

I was impressed with the graphical abstracts they managed to create in just 45 minutes.
I’m so proud and humbled by this experience.

The participants of our school have designed a number of graphical abstracts, with just a few glimpses shown here. A creative journey for researchers and future scholars to broaden their skills, discover new ways to visualise their work, and make it more visible and accessible.

What does it mean to ‘stay’ in a place, and how can sound capture that experience? 🎧 Dr. Dominik Kremer and @andreaswagnr.bsky.social guided us through Tracing Qualities of Stay, exploring voice recordings tied to place and presence.

We explored how language shifts across gender, style, and register ✍️ With Dr. Marianna Grachova, we learned how Keyfeature analysis reveals the words and structures that make each variety stand out 🔍

So nice to learn more about the city you lived and still work in. We ended day four of the summer school with a walking tour through Erlangen which focused on its women #dhss2025 @dhss #Erlangen

Thank you everyone for coming to the #GermanischeNationalmuseum today (despite some serious train delays and rain). I enjoyed it so much and it makes me miss working as a tour guide #dhss2025 @dhssfau.bsky.social

The excursion to Germanisches Nationalmuseum (who very generously gave our group free admission) is in full swing, with @sabinelang.bsky.social leading the tour. First stop: 14th century sculptures from Nuremberg. #DHSS2025
