Common Struggles, Unequal terms. Towards Fair working Conditions for all Scholars. Panelists Asli Vatansever, Felicia Kompio, Yannick Giovanni Marshall

International at-risk academics working in German academia and organisations campaigning for better working conditions will critically discuss the latest developments for US academia and what they mean for existing challenges such as precariousness, abuse of power and the state of academic freedom.

Together with Asli Vatansever, @ygmarshall.bsky.social and Felicia Kompio @gewberlin.bsky.social, we will discuss what MAGA does to academic freedom in the US and what that means for working conditions in Germany for all scholars. Join us on Sept. 20 at 7pm online or @Engelnest in Berlin.

On September 20, Off Fest will open with a workshop led by @dr-ferda-fa.bsky.social on the experience of the Critical Peace Network.

Opinion | An authoritarian came for my university. His objective was clear. Viktor Orban expelled Central European University from Hungary. Now, Donald Trump is re-creating his playbook.

More paralels between Harvard University and @CEU. It is painful how silent Harvard University was when @CEU was attacked, betrayed and defeated. This is a very possible outcome.. Do not be like Harvard-get prepared and support other universities till you can. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
