Maybe you could just post your article as a long thread? Then we can all have access to your cutting-edge semiconductor research?

Leidt dat tot een veroordeling, dan bekijken we de situatie, maar wat iemand op X plaatst behoort wat ons betreft tot de privΓ©sfeer en de vrijheid van meningsuiting.” Nu toch van mening veranderd. Ik vermoed dat ze zich hebben verkeken op de negatieve reacties die zouden komen op deze aanstelling.

Neu zeker niet. Maar dit is allemaal niet echt nieuw, daarom was er ook die conflict in Nijmegen. Een paar dagen geleden zei de VUB β€œAls uitspraken strijdig zijn met de Belgische wetgeving is het aan justitie om op te treden, en niet aan ons als universiteit.

Snap ik. De VUB wist natuurlijk ook met wie ze te maken hadden, dus kan me niet voorstellen dat dit een grote verassing moet zijn geweest. En er zijn wel meer ongenuanceerde academici. Nou ja.

Toch zie ik niet dat hij aanzet tot geweld. Dit is zeker een controversiΓ«le mening maar van haatzaaien en aanzetten tot geweld (zoals VUB beweert) lijkt me in deze tweets geen sprake. In de Engelssprekende wereld is het verdedigen van een impopulaire meningen, dΓ© kernwaarde van academische vrijheid.

Ethnic Stereotypes and the Letters of Paul Cambridge Core - Biblical Studies - New Testament - Ethnic Stereotypes and the Letters of Paul

Available now in Open Access β€” free to browse and download. I’m thrilled that this book is finally seeing the light of day. It’s been quite the journey. Many thanks to all the friends and colleagues who helped me along the way!

If you are mobile and want to do research related to this theme, this is a great opportunity. Matthijs is a great person to work with (as are the other biblical studies people on faculty there!), Radboud is a great place to work, and Nijmegen is a great place to live, even if only temporarily.
