In particular, we appreciate financially compensating a layouter professional copy editor in order to guarantee the quality of our publication. Even the smallest donations are greatly appreciated. The board of editors does not get financially compensated. (17/18)

However, we still need more support to ensure the future of our journal: Another €1500 in annual donations would ensure the financial viability of publishing two issues per year in the long term. (16/18)

Financial support still needed!

We are extremely grateful to the sixteen new donors who have kindly agreed to support Krisis, either on an annual basis or with a one-off donation. With the support of our existing and new donors, we will be able to continue publishing this year. (15/18)

In an interview conducted by Tivadar Vervoort (@tivadarvervoort.net) and Lietje Bauwens with Daniel Loick (@danielloick.bsky.social), focusing on his newest book, Die Überlegenheit der Unterlegenen, Loick elaborates his standpoint-theoretical approach to the concept of surplus populations. (8/18)
