Ethnologia Europaea is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal focusing on European cultures & societies, past & present. We're always looking for contributions that are rooted in theoretical & methodological frameworks from ethnology, cultural anthropology or folklore studies.

A very special opportunity today to talk about teaching and to discuss SIEF's initiative to develop transnational syllabi of European ethnology / empirical cultural studies. It feels a bit like going home @ KAEE Göttingen and online 🙏

Join us if in Halle
Grateful to Asta Vonderau for the invitation 🙏

Chiara Bonfiglioli wrote a nice essay about this film

"Mit großer Sorge verfolgen wir die Aktionen, die seit dem Ende des Sommersemesters unter anderem mit einer Internetpetition, Demonstrationen und Boykottaufrufen versuchen, den Entzug der Lehrbefugnis von Prof. Eckert zu erwirken. Dies widerspricht dem Prinzip, dass für ihn ebenso wie für jeden anderen Beschuldigten im Rechtsstaat die Unschuldsvermutung zu gelten hat, sofern und solange kein gegenteiliges Urteil ergangen ist."

Jetzt publiziert Leonid Schneider einen Brief, den 44 Lehrstuhlinhaber unterschrieben. Darin steht u.a.
Ich bin ehrlich gesagt fassungslos, dass diese Kolleg*innen sich Gedanken machen über faires Procedure für diesen Professor, aber nicht für seine Opfer.

One further piece in the plague-puzzle I’ve been inadvertently building, showing how #18thC #plague policy implementation was negotiated to the tiniest detail when it came to the circulation of cows, but apparently less important when it came to people. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Something incredible has happened - I was awarded an ERC Consolidator for my project titled "Racial Socialism: Racialization and Value in Socialist Red Cross Societies". I could not have done this without my brilliant colleagues & friends, and my family, who all supported me in various ways.

Thank you! Look forward to catching up in Poznan! ❤️

West Ohueri invites us to move beyond the issue of whether “race” exists in Southeastern Europe and instead to ask more pressing questions: how processes of biologised differentiation – ethnicisation and racialisation – unfold in everyday life, and why they operate differently in Southeastern Europe
